Ultrafilter...

I just got and Ultrafilter for my X. Pretty sweet, for those who dont know what it is, its an all billet aluminum, washable, reusable steel-mesh oil filter. So far this thing kicks ass! seems like i get better oil flow, and the engine seems to rev more freely. Anyone else have one?

I'd be careful if I were you.
Another thing, how do you know your oil flows better? :shrug:

pics please

iv been useing these types of oil filters for years on my street bikes and my motocross bikes and have nothing but good things to say about them. ever since i put one in my CRF450. iv noticed my clutch dosent fade toward the end of a race any more and the same thing happend when i put one (2 filters) in my KTM a few years ago also. so i would asume the oil is flowing better and staying cooler. bottem line is the oil pump dosent have to work as hard to move the oil through a paper filter thus freeing up a few HP and keeping the oil temp down.

i also orderd a trufilter for my 06 taco but it hasnt come yet and its been a month and a half :brickknoc. i guess its time to get the one from ultrafilter.

Oke, I must have missed something, is this an engine oil filter?
Point is you have good results on your bikes, but this is a truck, might be different?

yes.
a motorcycle is a lot more demanding with its high RPMs then your daliy driver truck motor. why wouldnt it work good for a truck? i forgot to mention i had a trufilter on my 97 Dodge ram with a Vortech supercharger that i put about 250k on with no oiling problems what so ever. im a firm belever in this product.

Hmm I didn't know these were available for trucks. Im right there with vetmxer. I have used aluminum oil filters in all my 4 stroke dirt bikes and they are awesome. How much was it?

i was actually lookin at these about 3 months ago and had posted wondering about the effectiveness and quality of these things. i have a good friend that is runnign one on his rb26 powered 240sx and he swears by them. so i think im going to jump on this band wagon as well. what did you pay for yours and where did you get it?

So, these filters beat the amsoil etc filters hands down? interesting.

I've had one for almost 30,000 Miles. It was my first mod. About the third time you change oil, the bottom part will come off with the top, and you will have a difficult time separating the two halves to get to the element. This will happen pretty much everytime after the 3rd oil change from my experience

Mine was $99 plus shipping online. www.truckperformance.com (http://www.truckperformance.com)

After awhile, the o-ring between the upper and lower half expands and makes the two halves difficult to separate.

After awhile, the o-ring between the upper and lower half expands and makes the two halves difficult to separate.Is that normal?

Its normal for rubber o-rings to expand when exposed to anything petroleum based such as oil. The o-ring will still seal though. All you need is a good bench vice and the grip of a man that's been single way too long. It'll come apart.

"the grip of a man that's been single way too long"
hmmmm
I guess that's in the same category as "in more dire need of a BJ than any other man in military history".....
