I don't think there is any difference between this and an ST other than the sticker. Your truck will never know!
Yeah, I don't know if the increase in price could justify me using this filter, E-core/w cardboard endcaps. You might as well stick to the ST, or use the $ for a better filter (puro classic, P!, WIX,etc.etc.
BTW. Thanks for doing this Texan, Really appreciate to see the guts of these things.

Thanks for this! I do not use them, but it adds to the overall knowledge to everyone else that does.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

compared to the one I just cut open this one has a bypass.
Aren't they both for GM? Why one with a bypass and one without? Thought GM had the built in engine bypass.
Thanks to the OP for posting. Is the classic design of this filter readily available at this point?

I dont see any holes in the flat area that would be a bypass.The holes that are located on the angle part just under the larger holes are the actual inlet holes for the filter.

No BP in this filter GM's have it in the block.

then why does my other filter have the other type of adbv? in my other post.
A adbv and pressure by pass are two different things, are we talking the same thing here?

Here are pics of a cut open ST with the ADBV and bypass combo,notice the holes in the base plate.
ST Bypass
Right but what vehicle application is that filter used on? didn't say..any GM i know of the BP is in the block so no need for it in the filter,unless he used a filter application not meant for GM use.

I think right now we are trying to establish if the other filter actually had a bypass or if the ADBV is being confused as being a bypass,that is why I posted the pic so that we can see the two sets of holes in the base plate.
