M11 Filters and belts

June 10, 2012, 11:25:35 pm

I hope to order filters from Filter Barn this week.
I have Barry Beams list of filters and belts from his GREAT website. cummins-m11-370-belts-hoses-filters-fluids I just wondered if any body has a preference for any brand filter or do any new filters offer any special features over another. I will be staying with the Amsol bypass oil filters now installed but plan to replace the K&M air filter with a standard model.

I always stick with Fleetguard, believing Cummins knows best.

I see a Winn HF180 primary fuel filter listed but can't find a replacement on Filter Barns list. Is this a special or cleanable filter?

Thanks for your help!

When a manufacturer designs and tests components they optimize for their own filters etc.  If in doubt use the OEM* parts.  There are so many "Experts" out there on some forums it's scary.  I have spent most of my life as a supervisor in the fleet world and rule of thumb is if in doubt OEM*.

* Original Equipment Manufacturer.  In this case for Cummings use Fleetguard.

I have seen only two filter failures, one was a Detroit Diesel Fuel Filter that sprung a leak, that was about 10 years ago, the last filter issue was with a Ford Motorcraft FL-400 on my toad, a F150, 4.2 V-6, it started leaking, Peter Martin was first to notice it dripping on the ground while at Xtreme, took it to the local Nac Ford dealer, who found the FL-400 Filter had sprung a hole in the canister, they claimed they had never seen that before, nor had I as we buy those filters by the case for our generator business.  Good part, the Ford dealer charged $83.38 to clean, find, change oil and filter and do inspection.  You gotta love good dealers who work reasonable and correctly.

Thanks for all the advice.
I checked off Fleetguard for all the filter choices except the Winn 180, I could find no match for that filter.
