: OEM AC Delco Air Filter... A good place to get them? jholly 08-29-2005, 03:48 PM Try our online dealers. Jim DavesDmax 08-29-2005, 04:19 PM Go to the web site in my sig. Eric has top shelf stuff and is one of the most well respected techs on this site. sjl_dmax 08-30-2005, 06:24 PM Well, from what I've dug up so far, my local dealer can give me the AC Delco filter for $26.90. It looks like if you add shipping for the site vendors, it's going to be over that by couple of bucks... I guess I could get five of them at a time online to ease the shipping cost...:( Anyone find one for less? Thanks for the replies guys... jholly 08-30-2005, 06:45 PM Autozone, also has the Mobil 1 M-303, probably a bit better than ACDelco. Find a Baldwin dealer and get the B1441 Go to a NAPA dealer and get a Wix. All three are good filters. Jim sjl_dmax 08-30-2005, 07:00 PM I'll have to check out the Mobil1 at Autozone. Thanks for the suggestion Jim. dmaxalliTech 08-30-2005, 07:03 PM those are OIL filters. AIR filters....its hard to beat an AC Delco sjl_dmax 08-30-2005, 07:07 PM Good catch dmaxallitech... Does Mobil1 even make AIR filters? dmaxalliTech 08-30-2005, 07:09 PM not sure, I know lots of aftermarket air filters out there, but most of them dont have the glue lines in them that add strength to prevent the filter from being deformed by the large amount of air going through it with a turbo charged engine. Stick with whats known in my book and you wont be sorry. sjl_dmax 08-30-2005, 07:10 PM I'm sold. I'll stick w/ the AC Delco's... Thanks... Bill Gisse 08-31-2005, 08:00 AM BALDWIN makes a good air filter also, it just doesn't last as long as the AC brand. mightyvh 08-31-2005, 09:31 AM I generally get several items at a time to have on stock...oil, air, trans filters....the shipping becomes less of a factor when spread over several items. Besides and this is just my own personal feeling, money is money and all, but Eric, Mike and the others have helpd me plenty with questions and info so I just like to return the favor when I can.....Bill sjl_dmax 08-31-2005, 10:22 AM Bill, you make a valid point and I totally agree. I buy all of my truck parts from supporting vendors and you are right. As you increase the number of items, the shipping charge is spread out and more than compensates for taxes. I got my gauges, oil and fuel filters, pretty much every add-on to my dmax from supporting vendors. I was just having a harder time finding similar deals on AC Delco Air filters... thus starting this thread. God knows, I have saved a whole LOT more than a few bucks with the information compiled on the DIY forum... The members and vendors take the time to share their knowledge and experience in our trucks. The least I can do is send them my business... Anyway, Eric will be getting an order from me. I'll just have to see what else I need:D to buy from his web site... Thanks for the input... Jim | ||
