I have a friend that is looking into seeing if he can do us some group buys on Provent CCV filter, AFE ProGuard 7 air filter and the famous FUMOTO Oil Drain Valve. His name is Greg and he's an Amsoil Dealer and diesel gear head and his business name is Lubracation Specialist. Greg said he would check it out and get back with me as soon as he could, but it may take a day or two. I'm ordering a drain plug from MOPAR Supper Center and havinging it sent direct to him so as to get the correct thread size for the CRD. The valve will have a nipple on it to allow for a 3/8" plastic drain tube to used to route it to oil container and prevent any spillage on the ground and from getting it all over your hands.

For those who haven't heard about the AFE ProGuard 7 air filter

If any of you have any questions feel free to call him at his toll free number listed on his website.

Ok I just heard from Greg about the Mann Provent for a GB of 20 units with spare filter. The price would be $155 + S&H which I think is a pretty good price.

No word yet on the AFE ProGuard replacement filter or the Fumoto drain valve.

How this group buy would work is we would call our orders in and give credit card info and once the 20 orders are recieved from the two Jeep forums then the order would be filled and our credit cards charged. My guess is maybe a couple week at most before we have enough to call Greg, then another 10 to 14 days before we have the ProVents.

That he is, but he sure is ugly to have such good looking kids.

What I'm really looking forward to is the FUMOTO Oil Drain valve for our CRD's. I watched one get changed at the dealer and the guy got oil on himself and the garage floor, guy had a lot to say and none of it polite. With the FUMOTO nipple valve installed you can run a 3/8" hose from the valve to the used oil container and drain it without spilling a drop or getting any on yourself. I have been using them since the late 80's and would not have a car without one installed.

I'm interested in purchasing two ProVent filters. Let me know if you think this group purchase is going to fly. Thanks (to all) for all the footwork, you've made it a lot simpler to choose.

Staying Tuned...

As soon as I get at least 15 orders for the Provent we will start the process. Just call us at 888-306-4255 M-F 8am-5pm EST. It will take about 2 weeks to get them. The distributor only keeps a couple on the shelf at a time.

Hope to know something about the AFE filter on Monday and the Fumoto valve later in the week.

Greg
