Cummins Fuel Filters

[CraigP]

I‘m due to change the fuel filters for the first time on my 2016 Ram w/6.7 Cummins (I bought it used). I’ve been running Fleetguard oil filters, so I thought I‘d use their fuel filters as well. Problem is, I can’t find any part numbers online. I’m told my truck has two fuel filters. Can anyone provide me with some Fleetguard part numbers? Fleetguard’s website is useless. Thanks.

I have always bought mine off Amazon, the prices on these have varied a lot over the last 3 years. They are currently less then I paid in January, but more then I paid 2 years ago.

I've had my truck now for 2 years this coming April and did full time rving - bought truck with 83K miles on it and now it has 114k miles on it, thru 27 states west coast to east coast and east coast twice (one down and one up). Since I've owned it, I did 3 fuel filter changes and all 3 times I've bought the AutoZone Duralast Fuel Flters #FF240DL for rear filter and the #FF818DL for engine fuel filter. NEVER EVER had an issue with them and my CarSheild warranty has NO problem with me buying and using these on my truck. You can get both for $110 before tax and military discount taken off.

Just think of all the different qualities of the diesel fuels I've bought over those many states and miles, and again, NO problem with these Duralast Fuel Filters.

If a person does not have an OEM warranty you can use what every cheap filter you want too, but the owners who have an OEM warranty have to use filters that meet OEM 3 micron spec and right now only Mopar and Fleetguard meet those requirements. I don't have 20K laying around to pay for a new fuel system all because I wanted to save $30.00 on 2 filters once a year.

UMM I dont have "OEM" warranty. I have EXTENDED warranty thru CarShield.


Rear Mopar Fuel Filter is 3 Micron / Fleetgaurd is 2 Micron
Engine Mopar & Fleetguard Fuel Filter is 5 Micron

Prices for mopar filters for the two ranges for both: $127 (amazon) to $150 (mymoparparts.com) and up to $182 (Dieselpowerproducts.com) and you have to probably pay for shipping and what.

Duralast Fuel Filters
Rear filter - FF240DL is 5 micron
Front filter - FF818DL is 4 micron @ 98.8%
I called up Duralast Tech Support directly.

Cummins recommends a min of 7 micron.

Duralast filters: Meet and or exceed all original equipment requirements. All warranties remain in effect. High quality fuel filter components ensure OEM replacement for form, fit and function. And they been around since 1986.

Seems just about any of these: Mopar / Fleetgaurd / Duralast ALL can get the job done.

You do know that the Cummins 7 micron recommendation was for the older diesel engines... IIRC it was around 2012 time that Cummins required the 3 micron engine bay fuel filter, but as I said you have no OEM warranty so you can use what ever you want.. BTW did you really think Duralast was going to admit there 4 micron filter does not meet the OEM 3 micron requirement???
