The first one is less likely to flutter at higher flow rates. That's also why the Baldwin has an extra line of adhesive around the lower part. My choice would be the fleetguard.
We want to hear the opinions of experienced mechanics like yourself, not a bunch of nimrods behind keyboards who probably don’t have trucks… (I have a 12v)
I'm gonna go with the fleetguard. Two similar filters seems daft, woujd they hald the size and half the service interval? Why stop at two? Do three. Extended service interval.
Hmm interesting. The fleet guard seems to be engineered well but the traditional filter style is tried and true so... They're both fine I'm assuming lmao. I have no idea.
Well the base filter in the fleet guard is a stack of mesh similar to a transmission filter media, so maybe on longer intervals that may be beneficial, but the Baldwin should actually filter more if the media is equivalent, since it has double the surface area. I would be skeptical of the fleet guard design to be honest, seems like if would be more likely to let contaminate through
As a mechanic on primarily gas vehicles sometimes diesel, I would probably be more drawn to the first filter due to the two different filtration types and also just how much of that folded membrane there is. However, I don’t doubt the red/second filter utilizes two different types of the same design filter, one of which probably has a tighter material composition for small particulates so I’m not really sure which one would be better, but my gut is telling me the first filter is more effective. I wonder which is better for longer service intervals? I’ve gotta cut more filters open I’m curious now!
Really appreciate your narration! I watched a bunch of similar videos yesterday but today is the day I'll give my windshield crack a go with Permatex. I wasn't sure about the syringe and where to stop the plunger, and you explained it clearly. Btw I did laugh at your "20 minutes is the same if you're in the U.S. or Canada" joke. Good luck and keep making solid content!
You go through all these details but skip the hardest part of the process? How did you actually pull it out. We took ours off but cant find a space to sneak it out
You just helped me out immensely! Thank you for posting this! :) There is a switch on the top where that bolt was. My take is that it's for the pressure switch for those with power steering.
I usually always have a ventilator on and take it off to talk to the camera. Sometimes I just forget to put it back on. Thanks for the advice though, always appreciate people’s feedback
@@Backyard_steve Sure but make sure to put more effort into the mould. Use fillintin wax around the whole hood to make a good seam. Remember. A good mould can last up to 100 pulls.
I’ve been considering some vehicle painting projects but I’m galaxies away from being a perfectionist at anything. I like to do things in a way that will work without making me loose my religion. I feel like you completed this project in a way that I could replicate without hating everything afterward. Thank you for that. I will be looking forward to more videos.
Did you have any issues with not using an adhesion promoter on the plastic bumper where you sanded through to raw plastic? Just curious as I’ll be re painting my bumpers soon
