| Agreat place to buy filters I just came across this blog and found it interesting. I own a mid sized fleet of Ford trucks. 4 6.0L, 7 7.3L, 2 6.9L Fords. We do all of our own maintenance and upkeep. In 2002 I found Quality Filter Wholesale. At that time we did not have our 6.0L's but we still had the rest plus a few V10's that we replaced with the 6.0L's. I bought a few fuel filters for the 6.9L and 7.3L trucks. I cut them in half and headed to my local NAPA, Ford Dealer and a friend of mine that owns a diesel repair shop. At NAPA I got a little bit of a run around while comparing to their Gold filter. They could not prove to me that theirs was better or higher quality. I bought a Gold Filter (for $38.00) and cut it in half. These that I was using were the 7.3L filters because the 6.9L filters are metal cased. I took both the Quality Filter and the NAPA filter to the ford Dealership. After about a half hour of poking and prodding and actually getting the parts guy to cut one of his Motorcraft filters in half, it was decided that the NAPA Gold filter was the inferior filter of the three and that we could not find a difference between the Quality Filter Wholesale filter and the Motorcraft OEM filter. I ended up having to buy the dissected Motorcraft filter in order to take it with me. Now I went to see my impartial friend that owns the diesel repair shop. We spent a couple of hours poking, prodding and researching all these filters. Our findings were that the NAPA Gold filter was not built as well as the others and that the Quality Filter Wholesale filter that came in a plain white box was either the same as the OEM Motorcraft filter or just a touch better.
Since then I have purchased thousands of dollars worth of filters from these guys at Quality Filter Wholesale (saving me thousands of dollars) and I have never had a single problem with any filter I have purchased from them. My friend that owns the diesel repair shop now buys exclusively from Quality Filter Wholesale. I even buy my wiper blades from them. They are the best wiper blade I have ever used (and I go through a lot of wiper blades) and they only cost me $5.00. I have spent some time on the phone talking with the owner Dennis and I believe these guys are on the level and would not sell an inferior filter or other product. Dennis recently told me that they have begun their website at Quality Filter Wholesale and that they have a web designer working on it. I recently checked them on eBay and they are around 1100 feedbacks with 0 negatives. Actually if you go in read the feedbacks they are quite impressive.
I would like to just go on the record as stating that Quality Filter Wholesale is the only place I will buy any of my filters.
