Coolant Filters
Does anyone know what the equivalent filter is for the Baldwin 5134 at Autozone, Checker, Pepboys, Walmart, etc? I have been looking online this morning and have had no luck. Thank you.

It is unlikely that you will find coolant filters at your basic local auto parts store. You would have better luck at a medium/heavy truck dealers parts counter or a medium/heavy truck parts supply store.
Have you tried Baldwin's dealer locator which can be found on the left side of the homepage to see if there is anyplace close to you?

Donaldson - P554685
Fleetguard - WF2077
Luber-Finer - LFW4685

Here's a cross-reference chart for you: Cross Reference | Purolator Facet, Inc. : Filtration products for industry, aviation, hydraulics
And for Wix: WIX Filters : Filter Look-Up
Well, the new format does some different things with links! Click on 'WIX' for the Napa PN, the other two take you different places than intended.

I have heard some good things about Hastings in the past, but you probably need to make sure it is a filter made for coolant or water based applications. what model number?

I just changed out my filter; I poured the coolant into a funnel lined with a coffee filter and WOW it was a dark brown muddy liquid. I ended up having to pour the coolant out of the funnel because it was plugged up with all the dirt/sand. I think I went too long before changing it the first time (about 2,000 miles). Question - How the heck do you guy's cut open the filter housing? I can't wait to see what that looks like inside.

Edit:
Specifically ask for "non-charged" filters. These are the ones without the timed-release tablets.

I told the guy behind the counter at APC (Auto Parts Company) to cross reference the Baldwin filter that i got with the kit and when he handed me the filter i asked him to make sure it was the non-charged one which it was. Its raining cats and dogs outside, so i aint gonna attempt to get the part number tonight

Hey JMASKEW - are you using filters with supplemental coolant additives (SCA's)? If so, you shouldn't. The folks at Dieselsite told me that what you should get out is particles. If you are getting "mud" then they said it indicates that you are probably dropping some of the additives out of solution. Some filters come w/ extra additives in them - these are the ones to avoid.

The "crud" is actually particles... a lot of them. I'll post pictures this weekend when I open the filter (if I can get it open).
