I always got mine from Napa. The Napa brand is made by WIX which is pretty much a standard in filters.

oh in case you didn't know you can run an oil filter off an 94-97 Powerstroke, it's a longer filter. I know it looks like it won't fit but trust me it will.

Motorcraft. Get it from my Ford dealer. I don't care what they cost. It's the most important service item I buy, and even if they were $10 more, it wouldn't kill me every couple months.

X2 on the motorcraft filters, I even use them on my wifes jeep..

Has anyone run/heard anything about PTC(Powertrain components) products? We only carry 2 fuel filters for my truck at work, fram and PTC. If the PTC aren't any good then I'll be getting my next fuel filter from Napa.

Baldwin is a very good filter, or used to be. The best off the shelf deal on the PS oil filter is wallyworld. It is a Motorcraft.

I find it hard to believe that anyone can sell Wix PSD Oil filters for less than $8.50, Like Filter Barn does?

http://www.filterbarn.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=PH3786

Filterbarn is a Fram filter reseller from what I can tell. What I learned from cutting Frams open is that I would never put another one on one of my vehicles.

PH is a Fram filter. The WIX equivalent is :

Part Number: 51734
UPC Number: 765809517349
Principal Application: Ford/IHC Trucks w/7.3L Turbo Diesel (94-03)
All Applications
Style: Spin-On Lube Filter
Service: Lube
Type: Full Flow
Media: Paper
Height: 8.093
Outer Diameter Top: 4.282
Outer Diameter Bottom: Closed
Thread Size: 1 1/2-16
By-Pass Valve Setting-PSI: None
Beta Ratio: 2/20=10/30
Burst Pressure-PSI: 385
Max Flow Rate: 28-30 GPM
Nominal Micron Rating: 21

And can be had for $10.43 at Filter1
