What's a good oil filter? I'm running a fram tough guard

 

Wix or Mopar

 

Wix.
I use the 51515 oversized filter

 

Some of the older guys here swear by Mopar so i guess it can't be too bad. I always use Wix.

Im having issues with my with my blinkers. When using the switch, nothing happens. No arrows flash on the dash, no clicks from the relay or anything. However all other options on the switch lever work, cruise. Wipers. Spray.

I have verified all blinker bulbs are in good working order by using the hazard option whoch does blink, click, and flash on the dash.

Whats the next step to look for? Could it be the switch itself or is something else more common?

 

Wix, Napa, or Mopar are reasonably priced and easy to find.

Fram has produced inferior filters knowingly for years, causing numerous failures and pemature wear to our beloved 4.0s.

 

blinker relay or the switch.

 

Yep.

 

Some valve in them likes to fail, causing dry starts. Also they are built very poorly, some parts are cardboard and i think the filter material is paper based. The wix filters are all metal with a fabric filter material, not sure about the Mopar or Napa filters.

I had a Fram filter come completely apart on me before, spent an hour trying to get what remained of it off my engine. Sadly i was too pissed to take a picture.

 

I always pour good, new oil in the filter a little at a time and turn in on it's side and rotate it around to let the fabric soak up some oil, then I keep adding oil until it's full. Fram is paper junk. Then I always make sure the old filter ring came off and lube the new one before I thread it on

 

My filter mounts upside down so i can't prime it like that, but i always lube the ring too.

 

How is it upside down lol? What boo witchery is that?

 

Not completely upside-down, but close enough

Did you eliminate the adapter?

 

From what i can tell, It's got a Renix style adapter on an HO. Tried confirming this with Cruiser a while ago but he kept ignoring me.
