Thanks Scott
One question. Many years ago I crushed a filter trying to get it off. I had to stick a piece of metal through it to spin it off. At 1 and 1/2 turn how are they to remove?
As for dealers and dealer parts, I will bypass the filter if I have to before I get parts from a dealer. A while back my parking brake cable rusted up and broke. I had no choice but to get one from a dealer. It didn't come with a barrel nut for the adjustment. When I said what about the nuts that go on the threaded adjustment section of the cable? The dude said "we don't have those?" He didn't look he offered no suggestion. I had to drive to a local nut and bolt company and they took the place apart to find what I needed. Every single time I need a dealer part, it's like asking them for a free steak dinner or something. I hate car dealers. It's part of why I keep my cars 20 years or longer.
Drop 30 grand on a new truck and then you have to kiss their a** for a 20 cent part.
