The next morning after it sat I fired it up and man talking about rattling and lifter noise which persisted for a few minutes until I shut it down. Putting two and two together I canned the Delco filter and switched out to the WIX brand. Problem resolved. It turns out the Delco had a defective anti-drainback valve. Other people have experienced the same issues.

Anyone willing to install one without an anti-drainback valve?

That is my story and I am sticking to it.

mmmmmm....I think I will pass on that one.

I was running Fram in our fleet of trucks, but I found Luberfiner filters, and they are a lot better quality filters. Plus I pay less for them.

A lot of us on the GP forum, when it comes to buying oil filters, wouldnt mind spending 8 bucks for a Wix or Mobil1 filter versus spending 2 bucks for the orange fram.
