Speed Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi all; Do any of you know what current oil filter part numbers will apply to my 1945 EN354 engine? I bought one at NAPA before I went to Reno to get the truck,tore up the original hetting it out,and the new one was all wrong. Took it to the Reno NAPA,they wouldn't refund on it because the filter and box was messed up with oil;I guess my temper got the better of me and I left the "new" filter there and left. I've been running it without a filter in the housing, and it isn't losing oil pressure or anything,but I really need to find a correct filter for it. Any info or help you can offer would be very much appreciated.

Speed Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 This one was a sock type filter-it looked like a cartridge filter wrapped in a cloth sock,pulled tight. As near as I can remember,it was about 9 or 10 inches tall,and about 5 or so inches across,and had a "ventilated" metal dome over the top that looked like it was supposed to be permanently fixed to it. The original was so tight in the case I destroyed it getting it out,and since I thought I had the right replacement I never kept any of the oud one. I had NAPA look my filter up several times,at different stores,and the kept coming up with a1006,but it's just too small to fit,unless there's some parts missing to adapt it. I'd just change it over to a big remote filter but the housing is built onto the block and I don't see a graceful way to connect to the oil passages.

Speed Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks Kelly; The metal dome may not be a "built-it";I still have that part,so I can probably use it on the new filter. (I think it was there mainly to keep the end of the "sock" tucked in.) I'll try to look up that filter by number and see what it fits. Who knows-maybe I'll see my truck listed! today when I found the dome I measured it and it's actually about 4-3/4' outside diameter.not sure how much room there was between the dome and the housing. Seems like it was a pretty tight fit. I pried on the thing for a half hour trying to get the filter to lift,finally the dome popped off and flew into the dirt,but the filter itself came out in pieces. It was really stuck by the sludge and goo at the bottom of the housing. Thanks again for checking on this.

DADDYSLILGURL Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 WELL LIKE I SAID ITS GOT A METAL SLEEVE GOIN ROUND THE OUT SIDE!!! NOT A SOCK SO IT MIGHT NOT FIT JUST AS TIGHT. BUT ITS A DARN CLOSE MATCH Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3709-oil-filters/#findComment-18904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 WELL LIKE I SAID ITS GOT A METAL SLEEVE GOIN ROUND THE OUT SIDE!!! NOT A SOCK SO IT MIGHT NOT FIT JUST AS TIGHT. BUT ITS A DARN CLOSE MATCH I think,for $7.00 it's worth a try. I did a little research and this filter seems to be a Detroit Diesel filter,so should be pretty easy to find;it crosses to a bunch of different brands,too. Thanks again for the info!

ciw65 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yeah speed, she's pretty close to the mark there, and if you want to save a bit of time looking, get on the fleetguard website and do a search by application, that is by truck make, model, engine model etc. I use it at work for queer stuff all the time, fork lifts and the like.

Kelly; I'll let you know how the filter works as soon as I get one and install it;probably won't be for a couple of weeks,outta money until my check gets to the bank. Thanks again for scoping this out for me.
