I think the threads aren't the same-these AMZN ones are 13/16", like the older LS (& SBC IIRC). The newer PH10575 ones are metric, M22-1.5.

+1-so others know who to avoid when buying them!

They make them for the Cummins B (5.9 & 6.7) with a 1 inch thread. I ran one on my '06 Dodge Ram 3500 for a couple years.

Well. now that I hear it was getting 50 mile trips on it-I guess maybe the wavy pleat haters might be right!

Should be a $5/jug rebate on that too, since you bought it in store.

Water (& Water Wetter) cools better than 50/50, & (IIRC) many tracks won’t let you run antifreeze(?) Could always drain and put MC Yellow (which IS Prestone AMAM) back in for winter, for freeze protection.

Did RP stop selling their racing oil & Duralec HDEO with Synerlec? That always seemed to be their best (& really only decent) oil, their non-API motor oil.

I remember K-Mart selling a bunch of Smitty’s Super S, then heavily discounting it at closing… And still had issues selling it!

When they’re creased on the ends of the dent like that, the flexing (from oil pump pulses) can cause a crack. For what Fleetguard filters cost, the shipper needed to do a better job-a lot of my poorly packaged OG Ultra 6 packs from eBay (a few years back) would have a couple with fairly major...

Wavy media often means it absorbed moisture from the oil-possibly short trips or not reaching full temperature. No tears seen, ADBV looks good, did OK. I’m just of the opinion that a $9 (or more) filter should look better.

My company’s Transit 250s say “hold my beer”… 10R80 trannys blowing up all over, even had a 13K mile 3.5 one drop a valve & throw a rod cruising down the interstate!

Looks OK. Guessing maybe some winter condensation on that one? For the money, could do better…

Tlhat’s a crack waiting to happen! What did the seller say about shipping damaged returns?

I would see what’s wrong with it first-it could be something simple, like a dual run cap, 24V contactor, or burnt off wire. My A/C here is ~30 years old, I put a compressor in it about 8 years ago or so (mechanical failure).

Good timing, I just got over my (self-imposed) one month suspension. I just had the clutch replaced on the ‘07 Corolla 1.8 in my sig (I don’t have a lift, & wasn’t sure if I could tackle it on the ground like I have in the past, esp. in cold weather). New LUK flywheel, new RMS, new axle shaft...
