CAT Fuel Filter and Stock filter delete questions

[ultrarnr89]

So perhaps I'm overthinking this a bit, but I don't want to end up ordering something and find out later I screwed the pooch.

'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.

I have been looking at the same thing. Cat fuel filter delete. I bought fuel filters and water fuel separator off ebay because of the price ,they said they were of equal or better quality. I put them up against the Mopar filter I had on hand and they looked the same and felt the same. I currious to what you found out? Or if you have done it?.

Cat has a great reputation for quality products. Only down fall is hunting to find cheap prices. Many have sworn by them. I use Donaldson, but if the Cat prices were cheaper, I'd through them on too.

Using a satellite filter unit has no issues if installed properly. A major plus is you can install making it easier to switch filters out.

Or you could use the Donaldson replacement for the Cat instead at a cheaper price: $8.60.
I buy many filters from them. https://www.filterspro.com/DONALDSON...p_1005499.html

I ended up buying the cat fuel filter delete from black market performance along with the fuel water seperator too. I called up the supply people I deal with at work for filters and I can get Donaldson filters around $10 $ 15 bucks apiece. Good call. Good call old biker!! Mush appreciated

Are trying to eliminate one of the filters completely?

I have the Black Market Performance fuel filter and fuel water separator adapter kits installed on my truck so I can run a CAT fuel filter up front (takes the place of the factory cartridge filter) and a CAT water fuel separator in the back (takes the place of the factory water fuel separator)

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

How is it holding up?

Was it worth it?
