Of the brands listed below the only one from what I recall that is not a repacked Donaldson filter is the Baldwin. I think they call their version "channel flow" IMO the Powercore filters are some of the best filters, with little restriction. Take a look around online I think you can do way...

This guy is actually a dealer. At least the AF performance seller. [link removed] is his amsoil website - the phone numbers match. I have already sent a notice to Amsoil. Other dealers should as well. You are not allowed to add products to a shopping cart system via the Amsoil marketing...

I know it has a DPF just not sure the type injection system -pre or post cylinder. Standard Donaldson media. 20 micron at 50% efficiency. What are the Fleetguard specs, information is lacking on the site? Unfortunately Donaldson does not make an Endurance version for this application.

Just met with the customer today. We changed the filter "Fleetguard LF3970" to "Donaldson P550428" and topped of oil - about a quart. Took a look under truck for post cylinder injection. Forgive me as I am not as familiar with these systems as I could (or should be). If it were a post...

Next time I get around this truck it should be real easy for me to find a post cylinder injection system if it has one. On my to do list!

No it's a FedEx Ground unit. FedEx Express is a different division- company owned trucks. Looks more like this.

I would have to yes, Fleetguard. The shop that works on his equipment is all Fleetguard.

Originally Posted By: dnewton3 Wear metals look decent but Fe could be better. 43ppm in only 11k miles is not great, but not horrid. TBN is a concern. At 4.4k miles it dropped to 7.8. Now, a bit more than 6.6k miles later, it's down to 4.4. If the TBN degredation is fairly linear, then I...

0W-20 or 5W-20 is what it calls for. I will let the others chime in on type of oil. You should get many viewpoints. What brands has he used in the past with good results. That would be a good place to start.

The whole FedEx Ground and Home Delivery Division Are Independent Contractors. They are responsible for maintaining their own trucks. I have a few FedEx accounts at the local terminal, with only one of them choosing to do oil analysis. Maybe next go around we will try another analysis...

Let me know what you guys think.. This is a FedEx package van. Heavily loaded from the time it leaves till the time it returns. Idles a lot - no exact hours. Truck leaves at 7:30 AM and returns 11.5 hours later. Obviously it does not idle all day, but this truck probably idles 7 hours/day...

I would imagine they are accurate on the brake hoses, but that's not the only place moisture could enter the system. I feel brake fluid is the most overlooked fluid on a vehicle. When you have your brakes done make sure whoever performs the brake job opens the bleeder screws to compress the...
