Don't know of a reason NOT to....except that Cummins recommends using Fleetguard Stratopore....which are only about $9. I've been told recently that you get what you pay for...and this is one instance where I believe that. I don't think $9 is too much to spend every 4000 miles, but that's just me.
[/quote]Hoss is right on this one, the fleetguard is not that expensive and cummins recommends it. ;D

Re:Wix or Penske Filters

Ya, quit trying to pinch pennies. I am a real cheapskate myself, but if you can afford one of these trucks, you can certainly afford to buy a cummins or Mopar oil filter. Why take the chance? BTW stay away from Fram. I have seen a few engine failures come through our shop because of Fram filters coming apart and blocking the flow of oil.
