OT what do you think?

A guy stopped over today and told me that I have a nice RV tailgate. I said 'garage sale'! He said, I know, a couple of years ago you bought it from me! He sold his 97 OBS pickup and sold off the extra's. He said he was cleaning out his garage and wanted to know if I wanted some oil filters? So I went over to his house and I bought six Fleetgaurd LF 3630's for $40. He said he paid $40 apiece at international for them. I saw them on the internet after I got home for $12 plus shipping apiece. They are big, almost as big as the donaldson filter. Then he showed me a LeBra he had on his 97 and was bragging about it. I thought to myself that I didn't want it, never really saw one on our pickups. Then he said I'll throw that in for $5, I said OK. I didn't think I would like it but I sorted do. There is a piece that goes across the bottom that is hard to see and there is a screen in the middle, which is good. What do you guys think??

I like it just remember to take it of every now and the to clean the dust and dirt from under it. I had one on a ranger and didn't do that and it scratched up the paint

Can you see those flaps on top of the hood driving down the road? That's the main thing I don't like about it. Otherwise its ok, not for me though I don't think.

Mike, I hear ya, I had one on a New Beetle and it did a number to the paint. I'll leave it on for a while and see what I think.

Darin, I can't answer that, I haven't driven it yet.

You guys ever hear of those filters?

Bra's on vehicles aren't my cup of tea, but to each his own.

Glenn, all these pics of AZ have me wishing I was still out there! I miss the west!

Ya, I've heard of the company, not necessarily that filter. They should be just fine though. They make a good filter.

I'm not worried about the filter because I have the FS2500. I have just not heard of it.

Fleetguard is a Cummins filter sorta like Motorcraft is a Ford filter.

Cummins Filtration

Been using them for a long time.



I just put a new one on a few weeks ago and still have 5 more upstairs in the garage.

When the price is right...............ya gotta do it



I bought 15 years ago because they were really cheap on ebay and they were local so I picked them up rather than pay the shipping.
