Ok changed the oil yesterday, and this time I left the oil filter dry. When the motor was started, I definitely heard a Whopppp! when the oil filter filled with oil. I did not like the sound of this at all, so..... It looks like I will pre-fill oil filters on this motor when changing oil. Thanks for the debate, and I believe you are right Skargo.

I get one right every so often, like they say, even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes!

I've prefilled all my oil filters for 30 years IF possible, my 92 I6 Cherokee was impossible as filter was upside down, so I'd fill crankcase(minus one quart), install dry filter(prelube o-ring and threads) then add last quart and start immed. to get oil draining down and flowing quickly.
