Dirt700 · Feb 3, 2018

Who all is running an in-line transmission filter, try to decide if it's worth it or not? Found this one and I can put -an fittings in it.

Wanting to go to return-less fuel rails possibly, what does everyone think? What regulator would you use, needs to be capable of -an fittings.

Fuel rails, I found these if I do go return-less.

Get the wix filter/regulator and the walbro pump. Unless you are doing some crazy motor.

I have a walbro pump already, and also going to run an in-line pre filter.

Did you have problems with it?

No, it worked great for me. I may use it again, I was just wanting to see what else there was. The Russell's filter goes before fuel pump, just to catch any trash., It's not a regulator

Any thoughts on transmission filter?

Also for my wheels, is there any type of valve stem that would be better, or just regular ol rubber ones?

What wheels are you going to run?

Wouldn't the one in the pan catch most of it first?

I'm trying to decide between those and Trailready HD's. Have you already purchased your wheels? If so, who from? Did you keep the 8x170 pattern?

I went with the holley hydramat as my prefilter.

I got them from Jake Burkey, they are 8x6.5, I re-drilled my ub's

The way my tank is built, I don't think one would have worked very well, that was my original plan tho.

I think it should, that's why I thought I would ask to see how many people run an in-line filter. Anything I can do to make stuff last longer I try to do, within reason.

I see quit a few of these come through the shop. Most often an hard worked farm trucks. Usually leaking cause the hard lines were cut and have no flare. I have cut them open and they are usually full of trash if the transmission is burned down. I have seen no proof that they would help your transmission last any longer then just the pan filter. IMO, heat kills an auto before contamination.

Thanks for the help, that would be one less thing to try and mount.
