    Stop damaging your engine! Have you picked up luberfiner and compared it to Fleetguatd of same application? If so, you would've noticed difference in weight alone. What does that tell you?
    Good read...

    They probably had to raise the price to cover all the botched up jobs.

    I know what I heard at Haggai's shop, the Baldwin filters on the ISX were losing the rubber gasket in the filter, it was traveling through the motor causing all sorts of damage. That was this summer. Fleetguard had similar issues a few years ago, but quickly sorted it out. All Fleetguard here. Fleetguard is made by Cummins, for those that do not know. It is the Cummins OEM filter.

    Get a fumoto valve, get a case of oil filters and have at it.

    I would also get a Groeneveld automatic grease system.

    Screw getting under the truck to grease everything.

    I have someone in Indian who has access to all the products from Groeneveld, I get the jobber prices and have someone from down the road do the installs.

    There is a place up in Mt. Clemens, North River Truck and Trailer, they are a Groeneveld dealer around here and have seen their work which is good. I would not have them build me a truck or trailer but the lube systems, they do well.
