I don't get that one, sorry. I thought they were clones, well that what I get fa thinking. I would buy fram ultra over amsoil ea anyday. I feel like asking, why not just put one small hole at that point?

Time to break out the 3/8" drill bits....Imma call it my like a redneck SRT filter

The 20-820 & 10-48 on amazon are almost $20 a filter now! That's up $6-8 from two weeks ago when I picked two up...they are going away, hate to say it, but they are. The 10-48 are still on sale at RP direct. $12. Same with the 20-820. Shipping is about $3 per filter. Best deal currently if anyone is looking.

I hate to admit it but I’m pretty sure you’re right.

question for you guys who a familiar with tow haul. i have a 14 5.7 8 speed. running in tow haul has improved driveability greatly. my question is about running TH and also shifting manually via + - buttons. do you see any issues doing this while in th? i enjoy being able to control the rpms and drive how i want it to drive. my understanding is th changes shift points from stock programming a bit. any issues manually shifting while in th or should i take it out of th when i manually shift?

Is designed to allow you to do that. Do it every day with no worries.

Just be smart about it with your downshifts. You can’t make it up shift you just limit the highest gear. but you can make it downshift whenever you want.

Do We know who makes this filter for Mopar?
I have no idea anymore which filters Champ Labs is contracted to produce.

Edit:
Amazon still has not jacked up the price on the RP 10-2867 spin on transmission filter yet. I went ahead and bought 2 more! (I'm now stocked up for at least 200K miles) - I'm done!

No issues at all. Mine is actually tuned to drive more like T/H mode all time, but closer to the sport mode tuning in my Challenger. My T/H mode is also a little more aggressive than the stock T/H mode which I noticed made towing around the few steep grades we have here a bit nicer. I used to use the manual shifting alot, but after getting it tuned the way I liked I haven't touched my +/- buttons in a while.

you can control the upshift (2 to 3,.3.to 4 etc) by taching it up above where it would normally shift. this was my issue with the stock programming . always short shifting. i am very careful with downshifts, esp down by 2nd gear. at that point i let the truck shift itself to 2nd and first. then once at a complete stop ill go to first. i have driven many manuals in my days, so im familiar with where to shift etc.

I've been using TH so many years I forgot how many, 24/7/ Now, the only possible issue would be increased line pressure messing with the factory throttle body plate. Those are a fail point even w/o the extra line pressure. Shift kits are as little as juts a gasket that goes onto the plate to help it not leak, and then they have a thick plate as a more expensive option. 150 bucks versus 600 bucks. But, what are the possile costs for NOT using TH, right? You seen the issues with the rfe's I'm sure corey's video, a little extra line pressure is a good thing considering what we have. Throttle body upgrade is a worth while upgrade, the main reason I have done it you need a tune to maximize it.

do you have your transmission tuned? or just a custom tune? i was all about a custom trans tune with hp tuner and jay greene. but shifting manually really takes away the need to fix shift points. although at times it would be nice to just put it in D and go. im not in the city so its not a ton of shifting. but its fun. reminds me of my 03 cobra days (minus the supercharger whine).

My point is you cannot make it up shift by just pushing a button. You need to be at the right rpm range for it to shift.

PCM still uses its programed shift points for upshifting.

For those that plan to run an aftermarket spin on filter in your transmission. I cut open an OEM trans spin on filter and it does not have a bypass pressure relief valve of any kind. The only way for oil to flow is go through the **** paper filter that is not wire backed.

I’ll take pictures or possibly do a video this evening and post it here.

Yes, TB upgrade is on my wishlist. Before i add any goodies to this truck i need to put it through its paces and make sure it is all good maintenance wise. Fingers crossed these HORRIBLE roads here do not cost me any more front end / suspension parts. One wheel bearing replaced already @$325. Have owned the truck a little over 2 months.

Greene tuned on both the PCM and TCM. I have his tunes on both the Ram and my Challenger (392 A8) and I have to say the man does good work. Night and day difference over stock for both of them, but the truck was more noticeable going from stock to a 93 tow tune.

Man we have some of the worst roads on the planet, I want a king pin solid axle swap, 3500 they want for that. No ball joints, no alignments, no weenie parts. A good lift/shocks and they handle just as good.

So here’s the video of the cut open OEM trans Spin on filter next to a mobile one of the same size.

Pardon my crappy video taking skills and my blabbering. I think I said the word “flow” about 35 times[emoji23][emoji23].

So the OEM spin on filter has no bypass valve. But the way the anti-drain back valve works seems to me that there is no way there could be a lot of pressure or it would close up the hole in the top of the cartridge. Take a look and see what you tink.

Forgot to add a picture of the bottom of each filter to show that there is not even a hole in the bottom of the cartridge for a bypass
