OK, my truck is a 2010, so I do not have the spin on fuel filter back by the tank with the water seperator/alert, I have the canister one on the engine block with my water in fuel sensor. I change that filter every 10K (Mopar calls for 15K) and its pretty black when I change it. My buddy with his 2015 and the rear filter, his is much cleaner on the front canister.
I bought a complete kit to install this Cat filter (IR-0750) fuel filter, it requires cutting the metal fuel line (kit even came with its own small fuel line cutter) and it uses the compression ferrules set up, super simple install, this is just the fuel filter, not the dual water separator set up, I planned on leaving the engine mounted one to still handle this duty. The idea is not much debris will get past this filter. I want to mount it in such a spot if I ever add a larger fuel tank, it wont be in the way, even if I dont, I want to leave that option open.
Anyone else running this Cat filter, supposed to filter way down to 2 or 3 microns. The upside is this filter is better and much cheaper than the stock units. In fact, I can get a 3pak of the Donaldson equivalents for $42, that's less than one OE Mopar fuel filter. So there is many upsides. The kit is so simple, bolts on, probably a 30 minute job.
Would like others input.
I got it from
Diesel Fuel Filter Kits
The kit I got was single stage.
I see they even offer a heater for it in real cold weather, its a blanket for the filter.
Idon't get that cold here.
