Part Number Manufacturer
05016547AC Mopar
LF3894 Fleetguard Stratopore
LF3552 Fleetguard Microglass
LF3949 Fleetguard Cellulose
3937695 Cummins Cellulose
FL896 MotorCraft Cellulose
L45335 Purolator Cellulose
PF1070 AC Delco Cellulose

These are the ones that are approved. Found this info at the Geno's Garage site. Hope that this is enough info.

What's the difference between Stratophore, Microglass and Cellulose?

The stratophore has two types of filter media to do the best job. The others are acceptable just not as good.

For more than you really wanted to know, visit http://www.fleetguard.com Bring along a 6-pack and be ready for a long stay.

Good info on that site. I didn't realize that Fleetguard, Inc. was owned by Cummins.

So that means it's owned by Ford then, right?

Heard that that statement is not true. Somewhere the percentage of stock that Ford owns is listed. I will try to do a search and find out one way or another.

you have to forgive Hoss. he just can't give in even when he is wrong. I heard he was kicked in the head as a child because of drawling nudey pics on the concrete with his red marker. ever since he has been a little
My advice to you would be stay away. last time he went trap shooting he took out 4 people

I only posted that for Hoss's benefit.

Not true.

Except the Fleetguard being owned by Cummins.
That is true.

Yes I believe that Fleetgaurd does own Cummins, however; I believe that Ford owns Cummings NOT Cummins.
So don't get the idea that Ferd will get a real Diesel. Cummins would not lower their standards for that ;D ;D

Dude...I know you're a noobie and all...but you're wrong. Ford DOES indeed own Cummins. There ain't no doubt about it.

No, silly, it's the other way around. Cummins owns Fleetguard...and Ford of course owns both of them.
