I haven't even seen one in person sir. Sorry. I can say that a few places that supply their own filters will recommend the Endurance when they cannot, for whatever reason, supply one of their own. Seems like an endorsement of sorts. Grain of salt required perhaps.

 

Here's the business end of the ones Nick sent me.

See how that works? I didn't lie and I didn't guess and I have no egg on my face. :crackup:

The Fram Endurance filters at local Walmarts were all rusty inside.

Fram is bankrupt now retailers are unable to restock. And finding alternative suppliers.

FRAM Bankruptcy Status

Parent Company Filing

FRAM's parent company, First Brands Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 29, 2025. This filing was made to stabilize its business operations amid significant financial difficulties.

Impact on Operations

Despite the bankruptcy filing, the FRAM manufacturing facility in Greenville, Ohio, continues to operate. The plant, which produces FRAM oil filters, has not ceased production, and local officials have indicated that operations remain stable for the time being.

Financial Details

First Brands Group reported liabilities exceeding $10 billion against assets of $1 billion to $10 billion. The company has secured $1.1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing to support ongoing operations during the restructuring process.

Future Outlook

While the bankruptcy filing affects U.S. operations, First Brands' global operations are expected to continue without interruption. The company is currently exploring options to sell its business as part of its restructuring efforts.

Advance Auto seems to be dumping Fram but otherwise the brand seems to be carrying on business as usual.


First Brands did close down their brake parts division (Raybestos, Cardone) in the last week.

 

Story gets more and more interesting with all the fraud being alleged.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
