Described as an OEM spin-on replacement stainless steel filter with billet cap. Says it uses rare-earth magnets and Viton? O-rings. Reportedly clean, reusable and said to increase fuel economy by atomizing fuel for cleaner burn.

Anybody use this filter? Can you report results? Will it void factory warranty? Thanks.

 

I used something like that once it did such a good job aligning the fuel molecules I was able to get an extra 5 gallons of fuel in my tank. the rear earth magnets did wonders.....

now for the real deal. that fuel system on the truck is very pricy dont do it. use oem ezuipment for fuel, air and oil all 3 are top of the line and worth the price

 

I use it in all my vehicles and we also use it in the track cars as well - These filters are superb - and don't take my word for it - call the factory and speak directly to the owner in California - his name is Kelly - he can address any of your questions that you may have - also if you check my albums you will see a detailed pic review of the Pure Power filter for the 6.7 - IT IS OUTSTANDING and you wouldn't believe the amount of particulates that this thing collects. - I even tried using it during a routine oil change and before we changed the oil I put a brand new factory filter on and ran for 10 minutes of driving - then we replaced it with the Pure Power filter - You wouldn't beleive how much gunk and dirt this filter collected.

 

I'm with Cheezit on this one.

Stay away. Improper filtration can cost you thousands in expensive fuel system repairs. The system designed for your truck is certified to make this happen and keep your warranty intact. The aftermarket lifetime filter may be a fine unit, but if you have fuel system problems you will be on the hook for them because Ford will label the filter as the likely cause of failure.

Don't do it!

 

Ford cant label any after market filtration as the cause for failure unless they are willing to give you filters for free... It's the law

 

sorry thats only half correct. they can lable failer to change a filter as lack of maintance. they can tell you it has the incorrect flow rate. also dont forget Ford has lots of money to waste in the legal system. they have proven that time and time again.
your truck, your dollars.

 

That's not correct.

They can't deny a warranty claim simply because of the presence of aftermarket mods. But they can and will deny a claim if the aftermarket component is to blame!

They didn't design the aftermarket filter and thus they can't be liable for it's performance of lack thereof. If you or anyone else has a fuel system problem that can be attributed to bad filtration and you have one of these units installed they simply won't cover it.

I suggest you get familiar with the Magnusson-Moss warranty act; not internet rumors.

 

I checked out the company website. They actually post the warranty law you reference on their website along with strategies to seek legal satisfaction if denied. I'm not saying that makes it a great filter. It seems they are doing their best to educate prospective purchasers, or actual purchasers regarding their rights and options, or maybe trying to protect themselves from claims as well. There are a fair number of testimonials and positive articles posted on the company website, but only the excerpts are accessible. When I tried to read full articles I got an error message.

I would like to hear from some more Ford diesel owners as to what their experiences have been with these Pure Power filters. Did you actually experience increases in mpg? How often do you clean the filters? Are the filters really effectively washed with just soap and water?

I was all set to buy a Banks or K&N air filter for my new 6.7 in hopes of squeezing out a few more mpg until I read all the posts about oiled air filters being bad for diesels. I run a K&N in my 7.3 with no problems (bought with 155,000 miles now has 185,000 miles). The AFE air filter uses a dry element so I am thinking of going that route.

I appreciate the advice and opinions on all sides. Don't want to do anything to harm my new truck or void my warranty. I'm leaning towards leaving it bone stock until out of warrranty.

 

just an fyi... you can read the same legal stuff at banks and k&n website. we have denined warranty claims on both item more then once.

 

Same problem with afe, dust your turbo and see how fast ford denies warranty repair. These are just to critical to be a good idea for an expensive truck.

 

I think you're referring to the Moss Magnuson act.

Magnuson

Cheezit nailed it...Ford has deep pockets and they're own legal team. They'll simply outspend you.

 

But this isn't about legal battles so much as it's about liability for failure. If a failure is caused by inadequate filtration, and filtration is handled by an aftermarket filter, Ford is not, and should not be liable for damage because this is outside their control.

I have a big problem with people expecting a manufacturer to pay for damage caused by things outside their control. Slapping on an aftermarket filter not approved for use on such an expensive fuel system is a bad idea. Responsibility for failures caused by this isn't with the truck manufacturer.

Please don't start pinning this kind of thing on big corporations and their seemingly endless legal resources. It's simply about who's responsible for the failure.

 

Obviously you aren't a lawyer - And FYI - I am very familar with the Magnusson-Moss warranty act! are you using FORD oil? do you use FORD brand fuel? FORD cannot dictate which brand products, or oil filter to use UNLESS - and only unless they provide the filter for you - PURE POWER filters far out perform ANYTHING on the market - and as far a design specs go there is absolutely nothing that even comes close to the filtration that these units provide...

 

I wasn't pinning on anyone. You and I are on the same page. Ultimately, we're responsible to maintain the vehicle according to what the manufacturer recommends. The issue comes in when a vendor introduces a component that supposedly meets spec and yet there is a warranty denial due to that component. Who of us can tell Ford that the part didn't cause the failure? If it came to that, it's unlikely that the average Joe would have any recourse against a corporation like Ford. Will Pure Power offer legal assistance in a case where their filter is named as the causal part in a failure where warranty has been denied? Just a heads-up to those that haven't thought this all the way through.

 

I have used these filters on my vehicles for years and they provide superior filtration to any other filter on the market especially the the OEM filters. - Cleaning couldn't be easier - take it apart and soak it in clean degreaser, white gas, or use warm soapy water and reassemble. Very simple and straight forward. You clean it evey time you change your oil. (Takes 5 minutes.) - As far as additional MPG, I see a noticeable difference in the big trucks when running these but on my 6.7 so far I can't give a good comparison as I have run this filter since day one. - I average about 20 MPG - with over 26k trouble free miles so far.
