Hi guys! I have been researching the threads about the lower micron fuel filtering setups. I would like to install one, but not sure which setup would be best. I have kept my truck pretty much stock since day one when purchased new. Current mileage is 318k plus some. I have never had any injector or injection pump problems or major engine problems. I also tow 40' and 45' gooseneck trailers cross country. I change my fuel filter at every oil change between 7500-10,000. I have been getting 19.2-19.8 mpg's empty hand calculated.

Based on the above, what setup should I go with without compromising anything? Also, would installing the unit under the intake horn between the stock fuel filter and injection pump before fuel enters the CP3 be more efficient? Thanks!

You're on the right track. Keep searching and look at the pics of the installs. Pick out which one will be best for you based on installation and cost and go for it! Anything that is filtering to 2 micron is great.

Vulcan VP Filter max or,
GDP MK-2 filter kit.

Either or, done.

yeah I know...I have been off for awhile due to an injury so lost perception of time and days are mixed up. haha

I will check those out. Thanks

I use the GDP MK2 kit.

Is yours under the intake? This is the kit I want but not sure if my Amsoil bypass filter will be in the way.

Time to search for more pics!

Shorts

Yeah, It's mounted on the back of the intake horn and hangs the filter under the horn.

Thanks!! That should work. Will be close though. Any pictures by chance?

Shorts

Had a look and apparently I don't take pics under the hood I can grab a couple tomorrow afternoon though.

alright guys, I sense some smart$$ism due to under the intake horn that I mentioned. Here is the picture of a unit off the cumminsforum. Go to post #6! Then bow down and worship me!

looks cramped though!

I'm not following about the smart alec comment. Under the intake horn is the standard position for a 2mic filter setup. The other is on a bracket off the head right in front of the horn.

Like I said GDP MK2, they make both.

If you go to their installs page you can see pics and install instructions

Nothing of the sort!!

I just got done with some PM's with Shorts. I'm not sure the GDP with big line kit will fit with my Amsoil bypass filter. Here is my filter set up



Shorts is going to take some measurements. I'm crossing my fingers I can squeeze it all in there! But looking at their instruction pictures I'm not too sure.

My bad! Having a stressful evening so I probably read into things to much. I was thinking you probably thought I was nuts mentioning under the intake horn to mount the unit. Come to think of it now, that location isn't good. I wonder if relocating the stock fuel/water separator unit to the firewall and putting the secondary unit in stock units original place would work.

Have you done an oil analysis comparison since you installed your secondary oil filtration unit? If so, what were the results? Starting to think I should do that one first since the engine cost way more than the injectors and cp3 does.
