A friend of mine a few years ago had one of the earlier Ford Powerstrokes, I think it was a '95. Previously he had a 7.3 non-powerstroke. Whenever he got his oil changed he took his own filter because if you buy them at the wrong place they cost too much. Shortly after he got his Powerstroke it started missing when it idled. Only missed at idle and as soon as you touched the accelerator it was fine. Sounded like it was skipping on one cylinder. He kept taking it back to the dealer and it would drive out fine and within hours it was missing again. He had this problem for the better part of a year and was totally disgusted with the truck. Then one time when he got his oil changed they told him he had the wrong filter. They put on the correct filter and no more missing. He had been using the same filter that he used on the 7.3 non-powerstroke. The Powerstrokes need a specified minimum resistance in the filter which is provided by a by-pass valve in the filter.
