When did the AC’s start going downhill ? I have a box of them that’s at least 10 years old .

I was working at a large chevy dealer till 2008. I started to notice some of the part numbers that fit the older apps were the light cheap ones. Then later the rest. I have a 5.3l truck. I use the PF61. They were the thicker ones while I was there. Now, they have gone cheaper like the rest.

As stated above, if you have an older one, go buy a new one. You`ll see the difference.

I would like to see someone argue that Bill Miller doesn't know what he is doing.

The fram race filter is another animal than what the average Joe buys at Autozone. As you can see, I go Wix...

I'm going with what a Pro uses in a 1/2 million dollar, 12000 horse engine, not what is read on the internet. If Fram is good for 12000 horse it is certainly good for 300 - 1000 horse. I don't know if it is Fram haters or Fram envy but the pros obviously know what to use.

" don't know if it is Fram haters or Fram envy but the pros obviously know what to use."

ONE MORE TIME, the filter you present here as an example is not a "regular" Fram filter being discussed in the thread.
