diesel air filter, reliable online sources

Ive been researching air filters for my 2021 Newmar Canyon Star on Freightliner MC (Front engine diesel) chassis.

I did use the Freightliner DTNA/Excelerator parts website (via VIN# input) to ID the air filter:
Here's the page.

If you cant see it, the MFR/PN is FAR 400820 026. It has a picture of the external filter housing and says its a complete assy. I was not able to find this unit at the Cummins parts/filter ordering site.

I found it at several online parts places I am not familiar with. Does anybody recommend any of them or NOT recommend them? Or others?
finditparts.com
buyparts.online
duaparts.com
bigrigworld.com

I know someone will say go to my local Freightliner shop. Im not impressed with them from previous interactions. If im in a hurry, I'll go there. But I'd rather sit in my easy chair and get the full information, including price.

EDIT: As an afterthought, I went to the Newmar parts site and found it, for $364.48. YIKES!

I buy mine from Freightliner. I have a dealer about 30 minutes away. They're surprisingly reasonable on their maintenance parts prices. I buy my oil and fuel filter their too.

Like Don, I also buy at my local Freightliner shop. Prices are as expected and you know you are getting the right part, not a cheap knockoff.

Eco-Lite is a Raycor product owned by Parker and relabeled for sale from all other vendors. Lots of counterfeit stuff out there.

Fleetpride, Cummins, Freightliner. Beware fakes from other sources.

That's where I get my air and oil filters....oil from Sams.

Bigrigworld looks legit. They were part of a Kenworth shop. Call them and ask if it is third world knock offs.

They aren't the cheapest, but not crazy expensive either.

I would buy from them.

I wouldn't use finditparts. I think they are just a broker - connecting supplier to customer. And you might get a different supplier revet time you buy from them.

UPDATE - ORIGINAL POSTER HERE:

Well I broke down and rolled by the local Frieghtliner shop and they did good this time. They had one in stock for a reasonable price $115 and change.

Thanks for the advice. Sometimes Im my own worst enemy.

My philosophy on filters for my DP is that I go to the source. In the long run it's cheap insurance. My experience with F/L is as you have found as very reasonable in cost.

Recommend you go with Freightliner. You're ensured OEM.

Good luck

The problem with oil filters for my DD 13 is that they have many that look alike, and have very long part numbers, many of which are different. If you are off by one number, they don't fit. That's why I go to Freightliner.
