Looking for a new set of summer tires for the wifes car. She has an extra set of wheels and winter tires for the snow. Commute is about 8 miles total. Pavement the entire way. Drives down a winding creek road, then hits the freeway for a few miles, and finally a little stop and go driving in...

Hi All I realize this is very much like closing the gate after all the horses have left... but - I recently ordered a full Polaris synthetic fluid kit. It came with engine oil and oil filter, and all the specific fluids for the differentials and transmissions - etc. etc. Anyway, what is the...

Here is a quick install of a Pareto Top Dog V bypass filter on a 2009 Ford Focus. I've created my own systems in the past, but this time I wanted something that was already engineered and would be much easier to install. I'm very impressed with this kit. Here is the mounting bracket that comes...

So I just picked up a 2009 Ford Focus to use as a commuter car. As I do with any vehicle that I don't know the maintenance history, I went through and started replacing every filter and fluid I could find. I get through the front half of the car and move to the fuel filter. I search and search...

Hello All! I built a bypass system for my truck several years ago. At the time, I used a Wix filter base (part #24755) with 5/8-18 threads. I have been using Wix filters 51050, hastings B50, etc. as the filters since I built it. It has been a great system and I'm looking to do something similar...

Greetings all! I have a quick question I hope you can help me with. I'm trying to help my sister-in-law find tires for her Pontiac G5. It is either a 2007 or 2008. I don't know the exact wheel size at this time, but I'm certain she just wants a factory size replacement tire. Here is my...

I hate not having all information and trying to communicate, but here it goes: I work at a dealership that had a truck come in on the hook about 2 weeks ago. The engine was totally fried. When we looked at the oil, it was extremely thick. Syrup thick. The oil filter was completely plugged...

I finally got around to doing it! I've been wanting to do a particle count for a long time now on the B50 bypass filter. There has been hours and hours of debate, and probably thousands of posts on the subject. This particle count was done on my 2001 Dodge diesel (cummins B series). I wanted...

Hoping to get an exact particle count from Blackstone... But, the results are in. This is about the hardest driving conditions I can do to an oil. Many, Many sub 0 cold starts without being plugged in. Towing snowmobiles in the dead of winter. Extended (30 mins +) idle. Aftermarket fueling.. The...

Looking for the correct filter head and compact inline filter that I can add to my new fuel system. Needs to be able to support a 150gph fuel pump @ 25 psi. Want to get a filter head and spin on filter.. Either from Baldwin, Fleetguard, etc. I know it has been discussed before, but I...

Redline or Amsoil? Preferred places to purchase? I have heard good and bad about both. Leaning towards Amsoil, but I would like to hear a few more opinions first. Any other suggestions to consider? (just to complicate my life a little further, I supose)

I have 2 samples that are very close together, and I'm curious about the wear numbers. I didn't intend to sample so close, but somehow my first sample was misplaced and I didn't receive it until I got the 2nd sample. Anywho, here are the numbers, 1st number is 3200 miles on oil, second number is...

Very impressed with this filter. High quality build. Looks like it will filter better then my current setup. The heat shield is every bit as top notch as the filter. I would never consider owning an oiled filter, and I have built several intakes that use paper filters.. I'm replacing an...

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but... I'm helping some friends rebuild a 1984 Nissan Z24 4-cyl. This is the first engine they have done before, and the first Nissan I have done. They are building it in free time, and I'm there to work on it when I have my free time. But, times...

So.. How about those additive levels in the Valvoline Synpower?! Hope that old rumor about cummins and moly isn't true.. Oil was Mobil 1 Truck/Suv 5/40 1 bottle valvoline additive 67,028 miles on engine 7,277 miles on oil aluminum 3 Chromium 2 Iron 24 Copper 1 Lead 2 Tin 1 Molybdenum 103...

I just ordered a set of American Racing Victors, which is from their teflon coated series.. I love the look of this rim, but I am having a difficult time finding information about it. I need to know 2 things: Does anyone have any DIRECT experience with the rim, and more importantly, this...

Looking for a full-flow option on filters for my pickup.. I purchased an oil cap from these guys a while back and was very impressed with the build quality.. How does this filter compare to other full flow filters on the market? P/N EPS-5900 Applications: Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 5.9l...

I doubt very many people hear have heard of this magazine, as it is relatively new and very specific in its content.. But, the newest release (march 2006) has a very interesting article about bypass filtration.. It is basically a promotion for the FS-2500 (I don't know much about this filter)...

Getting ready to do coolant flush (I have access to a setup that allows a really easy flush). 01 Dodge, Cummins 5.9. Should I stick with the green stuff, or is G05 a supperior coolant? It is my understanding that the new cummins motors are getting a pink dyed G05.. So should it be alright...

That is probably the only one I can think of off the top of my head. I think the 3506 might be the same threads, but it is the exact same size as the 3387a. The 3387a and the 3980 should both have correct bypass valve settings and everything else. Chevy lists 3387a as the filter for 2 wheel...
