SPEC / AXIAL SEAL ELEMENT / RELATED LL2642 / UPC

WHAT IS AN AXIAL SEAL AIR FILTER ELEMENT
An axial seal air filter element is a round cylindrical panel element where the sealing surface is on the flat face (end cap) of the element rather than on the inner/outer diameter | "Axial" = the sealing force is applied parallel to the axis of the cylinder (pressing the face gasket against the housing) | Metal end caps with attached raised gaskets grip the element firmly in the housing and prevent air bypass | PA2642's large OD (13-7/8" / 352.4mm) and short length (10-1/2") are characteristic of the Ford 9000-series horizontal axial seal air cleaner design used across the entire Ford heavy truck lineup from the early 1980s through production end | The inner diameter (11/16" / 17.5mm) is very small — it fits over the inner support post at the center of the housing
|
FORD 9000-SERIES HISTORY — THE LOUISVILLE LINE
The Ford 9000-series (also called the Louisville Line after Ford's Louisville, KY truck plant) was Ford Motor Company's Class 8 heavy truck lineup produced from the early 1970s through 1997 | Ford sold its heavy truck operations to Daimler in 1997; the trucks were rebranded as Sterling trucks and later discontinued | The 9000-series was powered by Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detroit Diesel engines depending on customer spec | PA2642 was the standard primary air filter for the 9000-series from the early 1980s through 1997; the air cleaner housing (Ford E2HZ-9600-B) used the axial seal design that is specific to this product line | Hundreds of thousands of 9000-series trucks were built; many are still in service today

DONALDSON P181189 / P182189 NOTE
P181189 (Donaldson — the primary Donaldson cross for PA2642 / E2HZ9601B; P181189 is listed as the current cross in the Donaldson cross-reference and in the Donaldson Blue fleet air filter catalog for Ford truck applications) | P182189 = Donaldson lists P182189 as the replacement/successor to P181189 in some catalog versions; if ordering Donaldson, verify which number is currently active in your Donaldson distributor's system | Baldwin PA2642 / LL2642 = the original Baldwin cross; both Baldwin and Donaldson are sourcing from the same application specification and dimensions | Fleetguard AF1886M = the Cummins/Fleetguard cross for this same application; most commonly referenced in Cummins-powered Ford 9000 trucks
|
PA2642 vs LL2642 — STANDARD vs LONG-LIFE
PA2642 = standard media air filter element (cellulose / synthetic blend); the OEM-equivalent service interval element | LL2642 = Long-Life media version ("LL" = Baldwin's Long-Life designation); same outer dimensions and application, but Baldwin's proprietary extended-service filter media; rated for longer service intervals between changes | Both PA2642 and LL2642 are listed as Baldwin crosses to Donaldson P181189 / Fleetguard AF1886M | PA2642 = standard service interval; LL2642 = extended service interval; both fit the same Ford 9000-series axial seal air cleaner housing | For standard fleet PM schedules, PA2642 is correct; for extended-drain fleets, LL2642 may be specified
