Is this a good deal?
Again Baldwin states they meet or exceed OEM spec and the Fleetgaurd Nanonet technology only filters down to 4 microns as stated below and Fleetgaurd is Cummins filter brand. The only thing that Nanonet is , is a Cummins/Fleetgaurd registered catch phrase to make you think you are getting...- Walter Conrad

This is the follow up email from Baldwin. I had sent another of the page from the owners manual showing the Ram/Cimmins spec for fuel filtration for both the engine mounted and frame mounted filters.

I contacted Baldwin via email and that initial email with their response is attached. I have since asked for a more technical and detailed answer giving me actual filtering specs and how they achieved their meet or exceed OEM spec statement. Thank you for your e-mail.

Is this a good deal?
Every Mopar and Fleetgard oil filter that I have seen was stamped made in Mexico, I don't know where the fuel filters are manufactured. The Baldwin filters I have been using so far are manufactured in the USA. I don't mind spending the money but if I could get "genuine" Mopar parts for less I...- Walter Conrad

Is this a good deal?
When I looked at Geno's earlier in July the rear frame mount fuel filter was backordered. I'm not stupid, I am well aware of what could happen using cheap No Name Chinese knockoff filters possibly packaged in Mopar boxes, you would never know. At the same time you can not tell me with 100%...- Walter Conrad

Is this a good deal?
OK thanks...read all the reviews, the 4 negatives were for unrelated other replacement parts not filters. Seems the filter kits they are selling are actual Mopar filters and have all good reviews. I don't need anything right now but was looking into the future. Last I checked Geno's, everything...- Walter Conrad

My average miles per tank was right around 210 with the exception of pulling through West Virginia. When I had the...- Walter Conrad

my 2020 6.7 maintenance schedule specifically states 15,000 miles or 12 months or 500 hours which ever comes first. I run at above zero degree temps and use standard non synthetic 10x30 Rotella and Baldwin oil and fuel filters every oil change interval- Walter Conrad

Extang Tonneau Covers
That is what I have on mine Trifecta 2.0. Looks, operates and fits perfect. My first Extang was on a 1997 Ram, it was a peel-n-seal roll up, that cover actually got me hooked on Extang. I have tied other brands Lund, 2 Best Tops and a Truxedo they were all disappointments and I always came back...- Walter Conrad

68 RFE
Always cracks me up when people knowingly alter their vehicles then cry when something goes wrong and the manufacturer (dealer) deny warranty service. Also cracks me up when so called "dealer mechanics" throw the Magnisun Moss act around, probably have never actually read it. YOU ALTERED IT YOU...- Walter Conrad

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
I looked at the chart that I have again and what I thought was 5380 was actually 5580. So as it is 5580 v 5890 or a 310 difference. still a lower cargo capacity on the HO. So i stand corrected on my initial statement of a 500lb difference. According to the published chart I have it is 310. The...- Walter Conrad

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
Not really and here is why, Unfortunately with the HO/Aisin you will loose valuable cargo carrying capacity depending on how you option it out will dictate exactly what that loss will be, but figure at least 300lbs.. The trucks GVW will always be 14000lbs but because of the added drivetrain...- Walter Conrad

Fuel mileage depends on where you are and what conditions you are facing. I live in NE Ohio and spend a good bit of time in mid central Florida. My empty truck (no trailer or payload) fuel mileage averages between 18 to 19.5 When towing from Ohio to Florida I will average for the trip a solid 12...- Walter Conrad

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
You possibly need to reread my comments. I never said the Aisin trans had issues. What I said was that Aisin had rough/harsh shift strategies that are noticeable when unloaded compared to the 68rfe. I also said the SO/68rfe made for a better daily driver. I also stated that the 68fre gets a bad...- Walter Conrad

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
Unless you did the swap yourself a 2013 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins was not available with a 3.73 axle ratio only a 3.42. There is a big difference in pulling power between a 3.73 and a 4.10 and an even bigger one between a 3.42 and a 4.10, so your comparison is kind of moot. Also if the truck is to be...- Walter Conrad

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
It's the Aisan trans that is the PITA not the suspension. when running empty it's the upshift of the trans that wants to rip your head off. plus anything under 24k gross weight the SO/68rfe will handle with ease. With the HO you also screw yourself out of 500lb of payload capacity. You claim you...- Walter Conrad

Is the HO worth the extra $2000.00 option. NO!!, unless you are into chest thumping. The HO version is the set up for 30000lb goose neck HOT SHOT trailers, any 5th wheel recreational trailer you are likely to purchase will be handled with ease with the SO.
