I had to put a Wix fuel filter in until the (backordered) Fleetguard comes in from Geno's... Will it be ok to run it for a couple weeks?

 

Yes, you should be fine.

The wix 33585 is a 10 micron filter, they also make a 7 micron, which is 33585XE. The 7 micron is what i've been using. I've had great luck with wix filters.

 

What micron is the fleetuard? and whats the part #??

 

105,000 on Wix filters.. Never had a problem yet..

 

That should be fine as long as you change it later.

 

both of my trucks has had wix from the first oil change i did to them and they both over 100,000 and never had a problem

 

Same here. That's all mine has seen since the first change. 105,000 miles on Wix and counting.

 

I couldn't tell ya what the part number is but you can get fleetguard in both 10 and 7 micron.

 

Or use the baldwin 7977 filter. 5 micron...

 

Who all sells the baldwin filter?

 

Thanks for the recommendations. I have already ordered the Fleetguard 7 micron. Had to use the Wix in a pinch. I always used Wix's on my gasburners with no problems.

 

I order mine from adiesel.com

You can order factory direct from Wix at a substantial discount by setting up an account at Filter1.com. Free shipping for orders over $50 and they will give the absolute best price anywhere. No shyt.

They also have a cool feature for people with numerous vehicles or fleet management that allows you to maintain a vehicle order form on the web site listing all your filters, broken down by vehicle, type, etc. Very cool.

 

speedco sells baldwin filters.
