Wow, it’s lots cheaper than the Amsoil too. Just doesn’t have the supporting wire backing on either. I’m willing to give it a shot!

Wire backing not needed and only adds to iron count/contamination....heck even the gaskets will show up with silicone contamination.  You want the cleanest highest flow rate of any filter..Better put a DELCO ON THERE SON!  Brand new filters are dirty right out of the box.

Swore those off when I realized they were dropping my oil pressure about 3 psi compared with the K&N and it only filters down to 30 microns while the K&N is down to 10-12 @ 99% and flows 16 ga

Why do you buy qts when your truck takes 2 gallons?  Just order the gallons and stop messing around with individual qts.  LOL

Don’t have anywhere to store them, I’d have to rearrange my cabinets, to much work. Besides, they’re easier to tote around when space is a concern during road trips but I’ve definitely been thinking about it.

Grumps,

 

I know you don't care or would listen to me anyway but my later stage goal in life is to post/update on this forum my K2 with more miles and still operating whether it takes 10yrs or 4 trans in my sled THAN PEPPER!  I am gonna see it through!

 

Anyway, I decided to change out my Vacuum pump recently.  I am not even sure your 4.3 has one but I assume it does?  I couldn't sleep thinking of having anybody else work on my baby other than me so I opted to do it myself.  Did the OEM pump need to come off since I bought it?  No, it worked fine as far as I was concerned other than being loud I thought.  So after examination it's clear to me as to the main problem with this design.  The casted body slightly different has little to no bearing.  The internals?  Not sure... discarded old unit and obviously didn't open up new unit?  The culprit is the Micro-screen and it's so fine inevitably even with 2k OCI with Redline/Amsoil or BOB'S SLICK 0W-20 the screen will restrict from engine combustion byproducts, junk etc. and ultimately fail!  I am just giving you a heads up for 130.00 I think I paid....Yes, it's far quieter than original and the new pumps safety screen is literally 100x more open and will not restrict or clog unless you go 100k without changing oil.

 

So go outside tomorrow scratch the OL'  Nutsack and ponder the wisdom I tried to instill?  Choice is yours I don't judge!  MOOK

Waste of time dude. Most of the same people worried about oil and filter changes and micro filtration. Are slobbering all over themselves over GMs Frankenstein engine’s that only get a couple extra miles per gallon at best. That’s only if you drive slow enough for it to work. My family business used Amsoil and its filters since the 80s. Most our testing was done on Diesel engines that ran at redline for 8-10 hrs a day. That was on pipelines in the most dusty conditions imagined. We double OCIs hours from conventional oil. Never an engine failure. That’s hundreds of engines. Other oils such as redline synthetic was added later. I still go extended with most of my gas engines. There’s been many of those tested too. One more interesting fact I learned dabbling in the salvage yard business in the 90s. Most of the non wrecked cars people brought to us still ran. The biggest killer of automobiles in my area was failing smog. It was easier to buy another used car at a pay as you go lot. Than fixing car that wouldn’t pass inspection. With the possible exception of some of the GM Frankenstein engines. Engine failures aren’t the demise of most vehicles. Way down the list is oil and filters. But it’s fun reading about how people sweat the micro filtration. For the most of the people who read this thread. That may not know better. Don’t buy the cheapest oil and filters. Follow the manufacturers recommended OCIs. With the possible exception of the Frankenstein GM engines or Rams. I’d go with the manufacturers extreme service. There’s a lot going on in those engines.

Dear Sir MOOK:

 

I enjoy your humor and I do actually listen intently to you. You set such lofty goals my friend and honor me as your benchmark. However I'm a fairly low bar as a standard overall. No one listens to me either. So....I guess we are two peas in a pod and we will trudge toward that million mile mark together. ? 

 

Yep, Pepper has a vacuum pump and we are currently at 130K on the old OEM and silent as a church fart. My reason for not as yet updating to the new pump is that this critter is still covered under the extended warranty for yet another 20K. If she makes it that far I will indeed be doing the upgrade. An no, I did not know the screen mesh was different between them. Interesting tidbit of trivia that will come in useful me thinks. Thanks!

 

Speaking of screens. Did you change the one to the VLOM under the pressure switch? Pepper had hers replace at 90,426 miles. That screen is fine as panty hose. Guess what? Looked like new. Imagine that! So why replace it? Well it got destroyed removing it. That thing is really in there for keeps. Used a pick to get it out.  

 

On a personal note. Been hot enough for ya there lately in the land of Sun and Sand?  :lol:

Well, my next replacement OCI oil and filters arrived. Only wish I knew WTH the flow rate is in all these filters, both say 99% at 20 microns but neither give flow rate when they’re at least at 50%. I guess we’re to assume that their marketing departments don’t like to release this information, not required which leads me to believe something is being kept from us all.

Spenpet, can you please take a pick of your pressure gauge at idle and and at normal driving so you can see the difference between before using Purolator and after? Thanks

Yes, i will...i just changed my oil...so it will be awhile. but i will do that when time gets closer...

That’s interesting cause online says the Boss is better than the one. No worries, to each their own, looks like I’ll just stick with what’s worked great for me for these years and maybe one day, when I’ve run out of my Amsoil filters, I may just test the Purolator. Thanks for your input, looking forward to hearing more about your pressure difference.

In the video you posted, it articulated that the Boss is more heavy duty and fully synthetic materials, but it is i think 98% or less...i cant recall...but the ONE is 99%...again...all about filtration, not overall performance...

Don't worry I learned as a yout to set my goals low to avoid disappointment!  I look under my throttle body frequently and look there it is.....Won't be long and I will be taking a peek at the screen!  I mean 124k and you know it's showing her age...rough idle, sputtering and where is the oil going thing?  Must be a Frankenchrist engine I have.  Good luck with yours!  MOOK

yes...Boss is at 25 micros...while the ONE is at 20 micros...again...i have no idea what that means in real world scenarios, but i do know that 99% at 20 micros is better than 99% at 25 micros...sorry...had a lot of research i was sifting through in my mind (the video you pulled was one of the resources i came across)...

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
