I always use Baldwin filters for everything... Only fleetguard I had on my old truck was the one from the factory... after my couple of free oil changes from the dealer on my new one, I'll be ordering another case of Baldwins for this truck...

can they really void your warranty if you are using a good quality filter ie.. fuel filter,oilfilter, etc..

No. This link goes into the details concerning aftermarket products and vehicle warranties:

Just stay away from FRAM... that's the only filter I've heard of that might have issues in our trucks...

FYI - they can't force you to use THEIR filters...

 

This is my second ctd, I had heard of the fram issue, but as often as we have to change filters i'm searching for the most ecomonical way of doing this! Thanks guys!!!

 

www.genosgarage.com has Fleetguard fuel filters for late model Cummii (plural of Cummins ) for $11.95, about 1/3 of what the dealer wants and it's the same exact thing, just not in a Mopar box!

 

i use fram filters on everything i own....they are the best.....no doubt about it...












































not!!!!!

 

I ve never been able to buy anything with a warrenty...........(sniff)

 

I've been using AC Oil Filters which were approved by Mopar sometime ago, get them off of eBay for a pretty good price in quanity, Mopar Oil Filters are out there to for a reasonable price, they seem to be getting better in price all the time. Probably will go with them after I exhaust my AC stock pile.
EDIT: Sorry about the rant , original post was about fuel filters... but I also get them off eBay, Luberfiner fuel filters for a good price, these filters meet all of Dodge's warranty requirements.

I think this is in the wrong catagory/post area?

 

Baldwin all around here . Good prices from Fleet Pride .

 

Fleetguard all around for me

 

Been buying them from Mopar for $37.00 each so good post. Time I started searching for a replacement too!!!

 

OUCH! Hope you weren't changing them too often at that price!

 

I've used Fram filters on lots of vehicles, including my Cummins, for many years. Never had a problem. They're available in sizes to fit most anything (including my Kubota) and you can usually get what you need at Walmart, which is just a few miles down the road from my house. Which makes it convenient. I've read studies about the amount of filtering media inside the canister compared to other brands and the type of bypass valve, but if you change your oil on a regular basis, none of this will ever be a problem. By the way, a lot of Mopar filters are made by Fram. Same filter, different color.
