Frantz Filter Systems

[joecool911]

I see that Frantz is a advertiser here. Did a search and latest Frantz entry was like 2009. Any comments on their systems? Would it be advisable to install a fuel filter system under the truck on frame rail?

Anyone install a oil filter system or transmission filter system on their truck?

Got tired of waiting for an answer, so searched for info elsewhere. Here is an interesting read.

I'm also running a Frantz Filter on my truck. Amazing gal here in Nampa, ID that builds them. Deborah Walker is the owner of Frantz Filters. Very good filter system I change mine out every 5K miles and change oil every 10k miles.

I have seen those pics more than once, but this is the first time I noticed how much smaller the dirty roll is. Is it smaller in diameter also?

[Mopar1973Man]

Yes. You got to roll off enough paper to fit within the can of the Frantz Filter. So typically what I do is use it to drips or spills of used oil on the floor with the paper I roll off.

The sandwich adapter looks cool, as you can take off a sensor right from the adapter for pressure and/or temperature.

Anyone try a transmission filter or fuel polishing filter?

Any chance of doing a group buy to kick off their sponsorship?

I see it advocated to change the paper roll more often and your oil and regular oil filter less often, like once a year.

Just gave Deborah a call and her know there are people interested in Frantz filters...

Ive wanted to buy an oil bypass for some time now. Depending on what transpires with my lift pump issues I may be interested in one as well.

[dripley]

I have had my eye one, just to many things going on right now.

[joecool911]

Any ideas on how to integrate an automatic transmission filter and a fuel filter? You can't just install in-line due to the fact that these are bypass systems. For oil you take off pressure and return to filler cap (no pressure). So for fuel you'd run your filter outflow to the fuel tank return line? Auto trans from fittings on radiator?

I've threatened my wallet several times for an Frantz oil filter.. I just can't pull the trigger yet.

[Mopar1973Man]

Geez... I know I talked to Deborah... Well hang in there and I'll try again to get ahold of her and see what she'll do for pricing.

[joecool911]

Ok Michael, I'll hold off on ordering until I hear if we can get a forum discount.

[Mopar1973Man]

I'll call here in the morning to see what's up...

[dorkweed]

I'll call here in the morning to see what's up...

Is she single????

[Mopar1973Man]

Ok... I gave Deborah another call she has been busy. She hasn't forgotten us so be patient and she'll be here soon to explain her offer.

Yeah, if it's a decent discount, I'm in. I'm not saying it isn't worth the current price, but it's out of my range.

Don't wanna throw a wrench into the situation, but you guys might also wanna check out the spinner 2. Its probably a little more spendier, but I think you may be able to go longer than with any other bypass filter on the market. Some people have gone 80k miles on an oil change. Yea, I guarantee they have had to fill up many more times. But to have to physically break the oil pan bolt and drain and replace the filter in 80k miles...

[joecool911]

They claim if you change the paper every 1,500-2,000 miles and top off the oil, you can go I definitely between changes. I'm still not convinced that's smart? I hear that oil doesn't wear out. Just becomes contaminated. I suppose you could spin off the regular oil filter occationally and shake it out too. :tongue:Do you think the startup at oil changes wears on the motor? You don't get oil pressure for a period...longer than a regular cold startup. Might be another reason to reduce number of oil changes.
