Hey Guys & Gals,
Looking to stock up on some fuel filters for me and my father-in-law for our Dmaxs. So far a price of 20 bucks each is the best price, but the filter is a FRAM. I'm aware that all the DMAX fuel filters are made by Parker/Racor...right?.... but still feel a little wierd about it. Also saw some for 28 bucks (better than the $40 plus from the dealer). I am interested in a quantity of 10 so maybe some discounts for quantity. Any help would be appreciated....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
Thanks,
JP

It is my understanding that the only difference between the Fram and the Gm part is the paint on the can. I am pretty sure Eric sells Fram. You might want to contact him.

If I paint the can on the Frams, you wouldnt know the difference. Open them up, they are identical in every way and shape and color. I run them on my truck as do many others.. I know they say Fram, but they are ok, I promise

Oilguard has Racors $16 each if you buy 6. With shipping I paid $17 each. Havn't found a better price yet.
Whoever is the cheapest including shipping. Only one company actually makes them.

Curious what the micron ratings are. Baldwin's are 5 microns.

Remember, Baldwin claims they are 5 microns. IIRC the most popular spec was up near 7-8 microns. Even the Baldwins are Racor made

Thanx Eric. At least the Baldwins are as reputable as anything else.

Yes, Baldwin does not catch any slack in the "name brand" dept.
Very good rep
