6.7L Cummins Forum

Title says it all ..most interested in the 09 models ... but ofcouse welcome all input

I prompted Fleet Guard

The response :

"You can use a Fuel pro on a Dodge it is a little overkill. We would suggest using the FS43257 (housing and filter)and FS43258 (replacement element) filter in filter housing that will filter down to 5 microns @ 98.7% efficient.

If you want to investigate further into the Fuel pro we would suggest looking at the Technical information catalog to determine the options you want for the conditions you plan on running in.

Thank you for using FleetMaster "


Now I need to find out how the mods listed in TSB 14-003-09 compare to the FS43257.

I run the (mopar 68061633AA housing) or (fleetgaurd FS43257 housing) with the fleetgaurd FS43258 replacement filter element. it installs the same as the original mopar filter housing 05183410AA , the only thing is that the "new" housing is slightly different and the replacement element is a dual filter that filters too 5 microns and the "old" is a single filter that filters too 7 microns. The fleetgaurd fuel pro/diesel pro ect. look good but I have not used them,I like the fact that you can see the fuel and that you can get them with options such as a thermostat control/ fuel heater ect. also you can pick the unit with the flow rate that will work for your needs. I just don't know if they will filter any smaller than 5 microns? The GDP system filters too 2 microns and looks like a great kit as well.... I will have to see whats in the TSB 14-003-09 and compare as I have not seen it.. I have thought about getting additional fuel filtering/water seperator system but have not seen any indications with my current fuel filter changes that any thing else is needed.

I run GDP filter kit, very effective @ 2 microns and also cost effective. Here is a link to the project: GDP Fuel Filter Installation.

98.7 effective is not a number I like, especially when you have to deal with warranty work and down time. I would look at all the features of the pro setup and see what you really need. If you need/want additional filtering ability, then there are other ways to do it and cheaper.
