SPE Oil Filter Housing with CAT filter

And now they are sold out of their fuel filter systems for the short bed w/S&B tank...

Guess their sale turned out pretty good.

If you are considering a different oil filter setup, you must first ask if there is any evidence showing that the OEM filter is inadequate. Maybe the idea is that it can't hurt to have better filtration if it is available, and I can understand that. Probably changing the oil more often is the best idea. I'm not saying that upgrading oil filters is a bad idea, I am just wondering if it is worth messing with.

I'd be more inclined to upgrade the fuel filter situation if I needed to spend some mod money to personalize and make my truck better. We see CP4 failures, but I do not see many guys with engine failures due to inadequate oil filtration.

We sell compact tractors, and folks sometimes find an aftermarket filter with matching threads and gasket surface but fail to look into bypass and drain-back specs. You can do more harm than good.

Very solid points. Why look for trouble if it isn't there? Thanks Dave
