So what air filters do you run in your gas/Diesels besides K&N? Time to replace mine and looking toward Fleetgaurd but could o with the OE Mopar.

Well maybe now, but on our 2001 2500 the OEM shocks were made in Brazil.

Ram trucks are made in Mexico. LOL.

Yet, Cummins12V98 hasn't switched.

I'm just pointing out that the bully is two faced.

If made is the USA was a big deal to him, he'd dump "el velocidad de Mexico y FCA" and not drive a truck.


And as usual more name calling. I am a bully because โ€œIโ€ buy US Made when I can.

Totally get there are only so many battery manufacturers. They do make batteries to the spec people want so batteries can be different.

The MOPAR FleetGuard air filter has changed numbers and is improved to meet the 19 and newer specs.

To give you a comparison of filters my friend had someone change his 13 RAM Fuel filters. When I went to remove the engine mounted filter I no way could pull it out by hand. I had to pry it out. The filters were NAPA and a side by side comparison can tell you the FleetGuard/MOPAR filter has more filter media.

Things may be made by the same company but the quality can be different!

No comparison between the filters. NAPA/WIX and MOPAR/FleetGuard





Ron, why change, so the filters are now made in Mexico, so is the entire truck. Heck the OEM shocks on our 2001 weโ€™re made In Brazil and made it to 255,000 miles.


Because the Donaldson-AMZ/OIL filters better and are US Made.

The dodge fan boys hate the dodge/ram dealerships. Now that I have owned a Mexican Fiat Oui-Oui, I understand why.

Sorry you are WRONG. the FleetGuard Stratapore filter for 6.7 Cummins is MADE IN MEXICO, says so right on it.

I don't need a lecture from you that's for sure as you are the one commenting on my post.

Like I said PROVE ME WRONG. Remember you were first to offer a wager.

Guess I will stop my my local MotorTruck take a pic and post it for you.

Would you like to make a friendly wager??? I said "FleetGuard oil filters are not made in USA any longer so that is another reason I switched" I should have said 5.9/6.7 FleetGuard StrataPore oil filters are not made in USA any longer so that is another reason I switched.

You made a blanket statement and so did I but you know what I was referring to. So please prove me wrong.

So you are saying apples and oranges, I am talking quality here as to why I buy what I buy. Simply no comparison with the NAPA/WIX. You should know how important it is to have the BEST filtration for your fuel with the cost of injectors in our modern cummins trucks.

HAPA Gold does NOT compare to StrataPore or NanoNet Fuel filtration plain and simple.

The StrataPore for our trucks has been made in Mexico for at least a couple years now. Now have your friend tell you so and report back please.


Nope, the media may be made elsewhere, but the rolls of media gets shipped to US to make the filters.

No need to lecture me about filtration. As a person who worked in the filtration department at Cummins, I learned more in a year than you likely will in a lifetime. I know the importance of filtration, however, many place too much importance on things like branding and just reagitate their favorite brands marketing BS they were sold on. When it comes down to it, just changing your oil at a proper time is way more important than getting a filter that collects just a few microns more.

You will likely never keep your truck long enough to even notice the difference it "might" make in longevity. There have been hundreds if not thousands of heavy duty Cummins diesels go millions of miles using plain old conventional media filters. In regards to medium duty engines like our Cummins, there have been many 5.9's and 6.7's that have gone over half a million miles on regular conventional "poor quality" media oil filters.

Also, in regards to the fuel tilters you pictured above. Ironic how to "low quality" Napa filter looks exactly like the standard media Fleetgaurd filter in the video below of a Fleetgaurd rep presenting the two. Hmmm, I wonder where Napa gets that filter?
