Cummins Fuel Filters

[BossHogg]

my CarSheild warranty has NO problem with me buying and using these on my truck. You can get both for $110 before tax and military discount taken off.

CarSheild, really. Did you take a look at the company, or see the customer's YouTube video rants or even better, the YouTube videos from service shops and owners? Get your money back if you can.

Only a fool would ignore the results of some Frame filters simply to personally suffer bad results. Anyone with reasonable common sense will do their due diligence when selecting products including disposables like oil filters. You can find several Frame oil filter failures on YouTube videos. The results vary from internal rust, filter material collapsing, low pleat count reducing the filtering surface, and some with no backflow valve where competitor products have one. Your question is unreasonable and asked for the wrong reason and in the wrong way.

Like I said no actual problems other than those that were "read about" on the internet.
If you believe what you read even on this forum you would be led to believe these Cummins engines are made of crystal and even the slightest deviation of what you're "supposed" to do will result in immediate catastrophic failure.

"read about" on the internet.

What is posted in the various SIGs regardless if it is Ford, GM, or RAM, it is an extremely small sampling versus the number of vehicles on the road. People come to forums to complain.

Watching YouTube videos of product comparisons is not the same as reading a post from an unhappy owner on a SIG forum.

Fram filters are the worst filters on the market i have not used them in many years and after reading and watching videos on comparison between filters they’re at the bottom of the list, Wix is a good brand to use if OEM is not available
For my Ram 2500 I only use Fleetguard filters which are cummins recommended filters And I use The Valvoline premium blue full synthetic oil. The Valvoline oil is again a cummins recommended oil. That’s the only oil I use in my vehicles.

Please tell us what problems you personally suffered to make you stop using Fram filters. Not just anecdotal, second hand info from your friends brothers sisters uncle or worse just something you read about on the internet forums.

I haven’t had any problems but I did watch some comparisons with Fram wix and OEM Mopar filters and with that being said I perform my own comparison.
And it’s absolutely true.
So that’s why I use cummins filters on my truck.

The consensus seems to be Mopar or Fleetguard and nothing else.

If a person does not have an OEM warranty you can use what every cheap filter you want too, but the owners who have an OEM warranty have to use filters that meet OEM 3 micron spec and right now only Mopar and Fleetguard meet those requirements. I don't have 20K laying around to pay for a new fuel system all because I wanted to save $30.00 on 2 filters once a year.

Good Point/Observation, something to remember, lol...

It is important to use either Mopar (rebranded fleetguard) or Fleetguard nanonet filters for the stage 2 under hood filter. The stage 1 water separator under the bed is more forgiving to off-spec stuff, because the stage 2 can make up for it. You should still use a fleetguard filter there for the great water separation it provides and as protection from plugging the stage 2 filter.

The nanonet filters are EXTREMELY good. Good enough that Cummins calls for drastically different injector change intervals on industrial engines when using nanonet fuel filters. Injectors are a mid-life service item on cellulose filters and an overhaul service item on nanonet filters. Cummins feels they DOUBLE the usable injector life on high horsepower engines vs cellulose filters. Review Cummins filtration bulletin LT36638 for reference.

Odds are high that if you have an expensive engine failure, it'll be the HPFP or injectors. They are sensitive to fuel quality (even the beloved CP3) and good filters pay off here.

If you watch a Carshield tv ad, read the print below the ad
It plainly states that Carshield can not operate in California

They must have done something really wrong to be banned from operating in California


===============================

By the way, sometimes when you go into the Dodge Dealership Parts Dept.
You may ask for a Oil Filter, the box may read Mopar or Magneti Marelli
