I guess the bypass valve clogs then no oil gets out of the filter, causing your engine to run dry. Hey the Motocraft filter is $1 or so more, why chance it ? Along with that the Motocraft filter is just better all around, better filtration, etc. Go to the Ford Truck Enthususiasts board and do a search for Fram filters, it may be worth your while, here is the address; http://www.ford-trucks.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi
