[AT] Dodge diesel oil filter number

[Brian LaPointe]

Hi
I'm new at this. but from what i'm reading here about these filters you 
are talking about a full flow that when all the oil goes throw the 
filter. and the bypass filter only a small amount go throw as the oil 
is sent throw the engine. I just put a bypass filter on a 54 vet that 
have, it never had a filter. In the kit was a restrictor fitting that 
only had a pin hole in it and that is all it takes to keep the pressure 
up.

As far as the Wix filters go I have been selling them for 30 plus years 
and the only time there was a problem was from to high pressure. and I 
sold them to a lot of construction co.
