I need to replace filter base again. I would like to go with some kind of spin on filter now. What do you guys recommend?saw few things that Napa kind of expensive though. Wondering what other options I have. Thanks guys

Hi
Where is the base leaking?
Mine was leaking from a very small plug,like a frost plug.It was in the bottom and had corroded and was leaking.I removed it and taped the base with threads and installed a threaded plug.That was about 7 yrs ago still holding.
If you want to replace the complete unit with another search Robyns posts she mentions a good raycor replacement a few times.
I fixed mine because i have about 6 extra filters,i own a gas station,and fill up exclusively at it so my filters last forever.Still on the same filter as when i got the truck running which is getting close to 10 years.I must admit that i have only put about 40K miles on it in those yrs.

I have this on my 1009. I am not sure if the micron(3micron) rating is as good as some but the filters are readily available and inexpensive.
Instal is about an hour.

Thanks for the link. Sounds pretty good filter and bases on CK5. This would be the third base on this truck. Would like to replace it altogether. Thanks
