YellaCat 05-31-2006, 09:53 AM Well almost 24K and my filter restriction indicator is finally making a move. Anyone have any opinions on the Wix brand air filter? Thinking of getting a couple from FleetFilter.com. The A/C is hard to find and is almost $30!-:t Thanks! RoadRunnerTR21 06-01-2006, 06:39 AM I run them on my truck. They are good filters. YellaCat 06-01-2006, 09:23 PM I went a head and got a couple. A few less pleats and does not have the glue to hold the pleats in place. I guess you get what you pay for! larry moore 06-05-2006, 06:55 PM I just recieved fuel and oil filters for my 2006 from fleetfilters.com Seems like a good deal to me.:cool2: They are napa gold made by WIX so little question about quality. They were $20.55 and $4.80 each including shipping. Local Napa wanted $46.55 for the fuel filter. Dont know about the quality of Napa air filters --none for 2006 yet YellaCat 06-21-2006, 12:04 AM Well I have less then 1000 miles on my Wix/Napa air filter and my restriction gauge is showing more restricton then my original A/C did at 20,000 miles. Almost 50%!!! WTF! Maybe my restriction gauge is crapping out..... RoadRunnerTR21 06-21-2006, 06:15 AM I've got 5000 miles on mine and my gauge has not moved. What's the filter look like? Reineke 06-21-2006, 06:51 AM My factory AC Delco filter went almost 50k miles. You probably wouldn't hurt to stick the AC Delco one back in and run it. From what I have seen of Wix, isn't as great as the factory filter. I replaced mine with an AC Delco from O'Reily's. YellaCat 06-21-2006, 09:19 AM I've got 5000 miles on mine and my gauge has not moved. What's the filter look like? A few bugs and such on the opening end of the air cleaner but mostly still like new. Obviously it is happening when I hammer down but it doesn't appear to effect the power or drivability much so I guess I won't worry about it. Mileage is still fine. This filter size or configuration must be on the ragged edge of being too small for the dmax is all I can say. The wix/napa looks like a great filter. As I said earlier the lack of glue lines and a few less pleats are really the only differences between it and the AC. Unfortunately IMHO the AC is the only choice next go round. RoadRunnerTR21 06-22-2006, 06:38 AM Interesting. You may be right about the driving style. I rarely put the hammer down. Most of my driving is open road and, unlike your neck of the woods, if a ricer gets in my way, they just become another speed bump. :D BTW, that catfish is one ugly spud. Did you catch it in Lewisville? That lake has some huge kitties! | ||
