Here's a fair analogy of this discussion so far:I don't know what you mean by, "authoritative source". If you are looking for a white paper from some ASME engineers saying that Fram filters are junk, well, I don't think that's available. There are plenty of videos in that link showing people cutting open various filters and comparing them, and the quality difference is pretty obvious to me, and to a lot of other people. If that's not convincing to you, well, it's your truck.
Dude1: "I just bought a classic 72 Chevy"
Dude2: "Man those suck, you screwed up big time"
Dude1: "Really? A 1972 Corvette sucks?"
Dude2: "Oh yeah, here's some videos that show how bad they suck"
Dude1: "Those videos show a Chevy Chevette, and I bought a Chevy Corvette."
Dude3: "Everyone knows the Chevette is a slow POS, in fact you could probably walk faster than that thing goes."
Dude4: "I had a friend that flogged the crap out of his Chevette and it left him stranded."
Dude1: "But I bought a Corvette."
Dude2: "Oh well, it's your money. If you can't see how bad a Chevette sucks there's not much hope for you."
Like I said, please show me one video where the ToughGuard fails.
(..and before anyone trots out the straw man, I'm NOT comparing the TG to a Corvette, it's an analogy )
