    I still run a CAT for the other filter Oscar, in my mind it makes a difference over Fleetgard or Wix.

    No its for the water separator on the frame, the 1R-749 is the final filter. I have always ran it as a final from the B all the way to the Acerts. On the B I guess cause its mechanical it really seems more snappy. On the E and the Acert both if I'm out of the 1R 749 and put a other on I get a call that "my truck needs overhead or something" pretty quick after they leave.

    That's not the filter you should be running on an Acert anyway, you want the 256-8753
