I don't know how many of you are aware of the issue with using Fram oil filters on Cummins engines. Years ago when I was working in a Chrysler dealer, I changed a number of Cummins engines due to the Fram oil filter coming apart and plugging the piston oil cooler nozzles. An elderly gentleman stopped in to my shop recently because he heard that I worked on a lot of Cummins engines. He said his was making a really loud noise and he was afraid to drive it. I said that I would stop on my way home and listen to it. It definitely had a piston noise and guess what, it had a Fram oil filter on it. He had just purchased the truck used and hadn't even changed the oil yet. I really felt bad for the guy. I don't know if Fram has fixed the problem, I simply won't use one on a Cummins.
