If you ask any guy about their favorite anything, you are going to get a lot of answers. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a brand name filter. I usually trust WIX. I get them either packaged as WIX, NAPA, or CARQUEST. I have used FRAM. I have never noticed any difference and I bet 99.9% of the people on this have never either. The reason...we don't drive our trucks enough. Even if you drive it a lot, you still won't be driving it enough to make a difference. Stick with a good brand name and, if a better brand costs $.35 extra, splurge. If you only have FRAM in the auto parts store near you, go with it. My $.02. This type of thread comes up a lot when asking about brands of oil and my opinion is the same...go with a brand name and be done with it. Do I go with Rotella when I can...sure. But, I also use Delvac and have used other major brands of oil. Never seen a difference in the few 500-1,500 miles I put on these trucks in a year.

thnx 4 the feed back i called napa and they told me that their napa filters they had"in stock" were made by wix and not nearly as expensive as i had imagined.

At the end of the day almost any new filter is going to be better than leaving the old ones in.

But the Deuce and 5-ton parts list has the numbers.

As far as oil goes, I switched from Rotella to Mobil Delvac in my trucks and I find that it stays cleaner for a longer period. I also add one can of STP to each gallon of oil.

I would concur on any HD namebrand, Donaldson, Baldwin, Hastings, Fleet rite, Wix, Purolator, AC Delco (most not made by them anymore) etc but in my former parts selling days we had a cut up oil filter counter display and "fram" was absolutely the cheapest made. Smallest filtering surface area, cheap pleats, cheap glued together, minimal bypass valve, and just looked like garbage. Champion labs makes a lot of private labels and even though it is a "cheap" filter it is quality made.

Bruce, If you have a choice, pick something else over Fram imho.
