CAT Fuel Filter and Stock filter delete questions

I just ordered this kit cause I broke the damn cap on the stock unit.

How is it holding up?

Was it worth it?

I have a cat fuel filtration system on my 2015 and still have the Mopar water separator.

Just don't have to change cartridge filter on motor as often simple install.

Question for the group.

I notice the Black Market assemblies have the WIF sensors on the top of the filter mount whereas the stock units have them located on or near the bottom.

The stock location makes sense to me because the water will collect on the bottom, thus tripping the sensor.

With Black Market mounting the sensor on the top does that make them less effective?

I would think there would need to be a filter full of water to trip the sensor.

I want to replace my plastic cap at a minimum up front.

Your thoughts?

I think you’re overthinking.

I have the black market performance one.

So far so good and easy to change filters.

That mounted on block behind/under the intake horn?

Looking to upgrade but trying to decide between the BMP fuel filter mod or using the Diesel Fuel Filter delete kit by Throttle Up industries.

The main difference is BMP is located on the engine block similar to the stock fuel filter and the Throttle up kit relocates the fuel filter to the bed next to the water separator.

(With the Throttle Up system, you have to purchase their fuel filter delete kit similar to the Fleece delete kit).

If anyone has experience or knowledge on these, it would be much appreciated!

I have a 2012 so from what I understand the filter setup is a bit different from 13 and on. I think that I am going to go with the throttle up kit. it looks to be of good quality and is affordable compared to some of the others on the market. it says that I can leave my stock filter in place which I like and don't at the same time. i hate dealing with that stupid plastic cap that is on there. but at the same time having the WIF sensor is a nice warm and fuzzy. as far as having to change that filter out i would assume that i can get away from having to change it very often due to the fact that i have a much better filter upline of it. what are your guys thoughts?

'16 3500 DRW needs the fuel filter changed. I'm appalled at the cost for the Mopar/ Fleetguard replacements. Hence my search leading to CAT filters. Has anyone had any success or significant issues with deleting the stock unit (either with the Fleece unit, or the dieselfuelkits unit) and running ONLY the CAT 2um filter (or Baldwin/ Donaldson)? I'm running the stock lift pump at present. Don't plan to change that unit out for at least a year or two. Will be deleting the truck this winter, but no plans for big power, other than cleaning up engine bay and promoting a healthier motor/ longevity.

I've searched through 4-5 different forums at this point, and everything I'm finding with answers relating to the 5.9 or the pre '13 trucks with no rear chassis mounted f/w separator units.

This is the kit I'm looking at purchasing, but I don't want to throw money away if I don't need to.

Advice?

I am about to install that kit when I do my next oil change and will be running the Baldwin/Cat filters on it.
