Donaldson Blue 6637 air filter, better flow and filtration

79jasper · Sep 28, 2016

Actually tried that already. Lol
I looked at the specs of every blue series filter in the catalog.
I think this was a custom build, that's why no part number.

Why does he have to provide a part number? So others can go buy the filters from Amazon?

No I just like to see actual spec/flow sheets from the supposed manufacturer. The one on the website is clearly not...

Could be. Guess we'll never know!

Actually I'd like a part number so I can ask my local truck shop that is a Donaldson dealer what they run and if they can get them. Even if I had to pay more, getting them immediately is sometimes worth it over the shipping time.

Exactly.
And being it's a group buy, what if they aren't available through a vendor again?

Well here's the reply I got. "Jasper: Good morning. In the Aftermarket, we only offer the B085011 in a cellulose media. There is not a Donaldson Blue alternative for this part in the Aftermarket.

That being said, we have a lot of original equipment relationships that are proprietary and I do not know if we have one with Riff Raff for this filter. In the Aftermarket, we don't have access to that information.

Please let me know if you have any additional information.

Thanks, Tracy"
If it is a proprietary design by RiffRaff, someone could just say so, and I would look no further. Lol
Yeah, they have some specs posted. But it's nice to have the whole thing.

Good job on calling them up and inquiring. I have done this recently on a few other applications not automotive related and sometimes they are not very helpful. I may do some digging around (given that I have the cellulose dimensions now) and try to find something in the "Blue" series that might work.

No, I used to say "Check out my Tymar intake!" LOL

How have you been man? Haven't talked to you in forever. I'm sure a lot had changed in both our lives since we last spoke. My number's still the same. Give me a shout sometime.

I can't call mine a Tymar either since I built it myself... using the exact same parts Dale used from the same company even. I got tired of a certain someone on the forums always saying "no DIY intake will flow or perform as good as a Tymar" so I set out to prove him wrong and did

I've been good, just working and beating kids. I honestly don't remember when I last talked to you... I'm remarried now and have a son that will be 3 in December. I just checked and I still have your number, I'll try to give you a jingle one of these days.

You would be correct. And no, for the record I don't beat my children... unless they deserve it

I'd be interested to see what this filter really is.

They're calling it a Donaldson... And a 6637. They are NOT the same.

no doubt.. so far, in my experience, synthetic filter media(aka "high flow filter") let dust in.. ill stick with my true donaldson filters in my 7.3 and my 6.7..

god bless america and the farmer who feeds your fat ass

Anyone thought about just calling RiffRaff and asking??

79jasper · Oct 5, 2016

I meant to email them. Must have forgotten.

Clay said it's made by Donaldson especially for them, so Donaldson doesn't actually list it.
So in my eyes, it is proprietary to riffraff-diesel.

I guess that's why he needs a pre-order of 50 to even get them.

Received shipping confirmation on mine a couple days ago.

rusty1161 · Oct 9, 2016

I received my order. Clay has some quality products, I figured it couldn't hurt to try them. I will swap one in later this week.

Oh, I got another reply from Clay, sounds about like this is a one time deal.

Well here's what he said.
"Yes, they only make it for us as part of our agreement. We also didn’t ask them to do testing because 3rd party is always easier to believe and distribute to customers. The group by was a special deal for a friend that runs an OBS group, but we typically don’t do them as we make so little on these it is hard to lower the pricing.
