Fleetfilter.com Order - Diesel Forum

I am getting ready to order from Fleetfilter a new air filter and wanted to know if you guys think I should order anything else while I am at it. I currently run a K&N Oil filter and I just did a tranny flush. I thought they used to have a $50 order got free shipping, but apparently not anymore. I was thinking of a tranny filter and a coolant filter (if they have one that will fit). Are WIX oil filters worth a hoot? I am going to need an oil change before too long. Appreciate any input.

WIX are some of the best, they make filters that are sold under many other brand names. Just stay away from FRAM. Motorcraft is a good filter as well, so are Baldwin.

If you want to do away with your in the box K&N and go to an open filter style, get the Wix equivalent of the Baldwin PA2818.

Alot of guys have had problems with the K&N on these trucks, and the stock airbox is not the greatest, known for letting debris in past the filter when the hold down bolts loosen up

That is actually why I am placing the order is to replace my K&N (although my K&N is a cone filter). I realized that the fuel filter in my secondary is the same as the WIX so I am ordering 2 fuel filters and an air filter to replace the K&N. Since they don't have the $50 free shipping deal, I think that is going to be it...
