Just got an email from Geno’s that they would be sending me the correct filter. Someone just put the wrong one in the box. Thumbs up to Geno’s.

I had a pretty good stash of 15-40 built up when I had my 18’. Grandson got an 03’ Power Stroke and I used most of it in his truck but hung on to 5 gallons for my JD tractor. I had a huge supply of oil filters for the Cummins that I couldn’t get rid of during the time I didn’t have one. Glad I still have them now.

Dominoed today. Thanks to Geno’s.

I think the spacing of the pleats is where the problem comes in on the other filters. I don’t think the glue strips actually have any effect

Use 53034051AB Mopar..... Do No use This https://www.amazon.com/KAX-CA10261-...09KPCFQR1/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pl_foot_top?ie=UTF8 says all kinds of great things about it but it will cause issues, ask me how I know. Restricts flow.

Order your filters from Geno’s Garage. You have to pay shipping but you will get genuine filters and peace of mind knowing they are not Chinese knockoffs. Great people to deal with and their prices are lower than Amazon before the shipping is added. I got an air filter, fuel filter and oil filter shipped for 12.95. Order by 3:00 est and it ships the same day.
If you order from Amazon you have to pay attention to who the vendor is and read all of the fine print. A lot of the descriptions at the top part of the add are contradicted on down in the description of the product.

I've ordered from Geno's for years, just thought I would try another brand 1st time ever and it made my truck stutter between 1300-1600 rpms. All fixed now.

I run Baldwin air filters in my 12 and 19 and never had a problem. If these engines are soo sensitive maybe a tweak in programming is needed or maybe the engineers can bring back the oil bath air cleaner. Ya know the same way they have desighned turbos to have to endure. 
At one time, the Baldwin was identical to Mopar 53034051AB. Not sure if that’s still the case though. The last one I laid eyes on did indeed have strips of glue across the pleats.I run Baldwin air filters in my 12 and 19 and never had a problem.

It’s not just in our particular air filter either. Go to BITOG and look at all of the dismal oil filters that they discuss and it’s plain that even the filter manufacturers are doing their best to do away with ICE’s. I suppose they are getting subsidies to produce the crap they are making. The only good filters obtainable are imported other than the 53034051ab and who knows how long it will last. Maybe or hopefully Cummins/Ram will figure out what the bobble is in this air filter debacle. A computerized engine should be able to adjust for variances in air filters. It has to do it when they start getting loaded with debris.

My aftermarket 30 days about 1000 miles on village paved streets, no real bad conditions.
