Don't be confused why so many of us are in naked butt love with rp/amsoil ea filters, look at the screen in pleats and media right next to wix xp, as it turns out srt filters have no screen and are likely just paper. I've seen the cutaway's that show different, but a dodge dealer just cut one open a few weeks ago.

There definitely is conflicting info on srt filters, this was 3 months ago, but there are cutaways that showed srt as synthetic media. Is there 2 different srt filters? The dodge viper filter is paper according to everything I've seen, is that different then the srt filter? Without a group of Ram members cutting their filters open to verify, we just are in limbo. You may think you bought a spun microglass, but it might just be paper.

With some of the issues facing RP filters, don't forget thier clone filter is still out there as well and I haven't heard anything about amsoil ea having issues. Two less entry holes other then that look identical to RP.

I thought the info on the SRT box said it was "blended" or "fortified", or something to that effect?

It's possible, the m1 filter doesn't have the screen back that is needed for 100% spun microglass. But, at some point the forum was believing it was spun microglass because of a cutaway that seams to be fake news. Many guys here are running srt filters, we need like 5 of them to cut them open like we had with the RP filters to get some modern info on it.

How many rolls of toilet paper did you stock up on?

I think my buddy just bought one for his 6.4. I'll at least try to get the info off of the box. Won't solve the mystery, but we can see if that info changed. It will be for his first change, so it will be the OEM filter coming off.

Cruise ships are ******* cesspools and you'll find all sorts of **** that lingers inside them you wouldn't expect. How anyone can stand to go on one is beyond me when the air is far dirtier than the worst office building or home you could imagine.

I was more after the **** was still alive on surfaces 17 ******* days later.

But I do agree they are ******* disgusting.

Senate passed aid bill that gives us all relief and stimulus 96 to zero, couple senators didn't vote as they were isolated. They might have added debt, but basically also gave you a large portion of that debt in CASH. 2400 for married, 1200 for single, 500 per kid. It will hard to believe this wont pass the house as is. All in all, the pork is reasonable imo. The institutions helped by the pork like the kennedy center has been closed down as well. Usually I hate spending bills, but I like this one, for once I'm included.

Well my state, MI, just got locked down. Governor said in a news conference yesterday that she was not even considering shelter in place and 11 am today she shut it down. So she got pressure or something happened we don’t know about.

Was handed how to file unemployment from my work 10 minutes ago which was fun. I’m the type of personality that I work. Even when I shouldn’t I work. I’ve got a wife and 3 kids to care for and now I’m freaking out. Hopefully it’s not as bad as my imagination takes me and it ends up for the better.

I think when the mayors in Michigan started shutting down their counties she realized she had to put her big girl paints on and make a decision. She was waiting for trump to tell her what to do.

Gun Grab is under our noses right now. H.R. 5717 was introduced in the house on 1-30-2020 by Rep Johnson Henry C. “Hank” Jr. [D-GA-4] Ironically during this Covid-19 pandemic when the citizens are focused on survival. This in a new low and absolutely disgusting. Get the word out and fight this.
