    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    HAHA your welcome! Sorry about that 7900 vs 7300!!! So strange that the article I linked has Donaldson comparing their DBL7900 to Fleetguards LF14000NN Filter!

    I’d suggest the Donaldson DBL7900 not the DBL7300

    That’s a monster of a filter haha. https://www.cumminsfiltration.com/africa/sites/cumminsfiltration.com.africa/files/PD10021.pdf that shows 98.9% at 30 and 72.3% at 10. Very nice filter! You should also take a look at Donaldsons DBL7900. It’s 97.6% at 15 micron and here is a very nice...

    No, Fleetguard with Stratapore was my top choice because I couldn’t find a Donaldson “blue“ synthetic media that fit at first. Fleetguard and Donaldson filters are 1A and 1B in my mind and can’t go wrong with either really. What filter does Cummins recommend for your 8.3?

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    I had planned to order the Fleetguard LF3970 filter cummins recommends until OVERKILL was kind enough to suggest that Donaldson P551019 filter. Fleetguard LF3970: 98.7% at 30 micron Donaldson P551019: 99% at 15 micron Seems like Donaldson is the way to go.

    WOW did you even need to make this post, aren’t message boards meant for people to ask questions? Im sorry I wasted your time……I had looked at multiple websites including RV only ones and multiple people had posted oil filters with 1 16 threads working as an alternate to the LF3970 1-1/8 16...

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    OH wow thank you! I have been thinking that ONLY the Donaldson "DBL" dark blue looking filters had the synthetic "Synteq" media. 99% @ 15 microns is gonna be hard to beat haha

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    So I did a cross search for the recommended LF3970 filter and below is what I got. Anyone suggest any of these filters over the LF3970 Stratapore filter? I was kinda hoping for a Donaldson Blue or even Fleetguard Venturi but can’t find any on the list. FLEETGUARD LF3970: Thread measurement...

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    Because across multiple sites ive seen when researching some folks have mentioned filters made for Cummins 6.7L on a truck. I didn’t not see how this was possible because of the slight thread difference, even if everything else is exactly the same, so I thought I’d just make a post asking the...

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    I 100% agree but alas it is. Guessing it’s the freightliner chassis that they made the change? Thanks for response

    Does filter thread have to match exactly?

    My RV has a Cummins 6.7L engine. When I di research on the oil filter it states Fleetguard LF3970 and the thread is 1-1/8 16. I’d like to upgrade the filter with either a Donaldson blue or Fleetguard venturi. Now when I search for a Cummins 6.7L oil filter MOST come up for the “truck” models...
