Donaldson And Caterpillar Info For Fuel And Oil

[6.7 Coal Train]

Me personally no, I have the rear fuelfilterkit. The only benefit of upgrading the rear water filter is to get a bigger one that is slightly cheaper. In the long run it might be worth it financially but I am happy with the rear setup.

What kit is that?

And is front fuel filter deleted then or still there?

The exact kit is this: https://dieselfuelfilterkits.com/13_...ilter_kit.html

As of this moment yes the front filter is on only because I am running 0750 rear Cat filter.

I plan to delete the front filter when my water separator is due, also got the delete kit from the same person. (It's an option on the bottom of the page.)

That 0750 is going to be replaced by that big blue filter DBF5817, then the factory Mopar water separator is going to be replaced with P551833.

This is awesome info everyone!

i just ordered the BMP front spin on and will keep the rear stock filter.

DBF5817 in the front
P551833 in the rear

What kind of Micron filtration would I get with a setup like that and would the big filter fit up front on the block?

I see no reason it won't unless something is changed to block the area near the front filter.

Here is a link of someone using the Cat version 416-1225 from another forum changed it to a link shortener to not name that forum.

Only difference from your kit is they are using GDP instead of BMP

The front filter is a 5 micron and the 5817-5814 are 4 and the efficiency rating for Donaldson is 99.9.

One more question? How often does everyone change the front/rear fuel filters with the improved filtration compared to stock?

Was searching the Donaldson website for more info found two more oversized blue water spectators even bigger then the P550901 and they say are a higher filtration level.
The numbers are P553207 (SAE) P553217 (ISO) I still won't switch out my rear factory water separator as I rather keep my factory sensor but not a bad setup for Fass/Airdog setup.

Since I don't drive the truck too much 5k oil 10k fuel, even with the new filters I have yet to put in.

I change mine every 10,000 or 1 year which ever comes first for fuel and oil.

Just realized my own mistake that the BMP kit allows for the factory WIF sensor and they have a adapter to retain the factory heater plug.
I really doubt I need it with the oversized fuel filter. Also with the two kits it would be $334 before a Donaldson filter.

Also for those wondering the reason I chose my rear kit over the BMP front cat filter setup, was it just looked easier to change in the future with it being under the bed instead of with the motor.
