Where To Purchase Fuel Filter Lid?
Hey everyone,
Long story short, about 2 weekends ago I was putting in my Fuel Snubber and well the threaded port on the lid cracked[verymad] I sealed it up, made a fastener to go around the port to clamp it close (so the crack is more closed) and put the stock plug back in the port. Figured I would go to the dealership today and price it out. Shouldn't be too much should it, it's only cast aluminium.....$1600 CDN :o Said **** that and so now I'm running a couple options through my head. Should I get it welded and re-tapped? Should I try a junk yard (which probably wont get me anywhere, but maybe)? Or is there some place online that you guys no of that I could order a new/used one for? I still have it sealed up right now but obviously can't use my fuel pressure gauge (unless I tap it into the other port for now) Thanks!! |
Napa has tham. Thay have the plastic covers not sure about the cast aluminum version.

Hmm I was actually throwing back and forth the idea of trying through NAPA, being as I work for them (through Traction and Truck Pro). Maybe I will see what they carry, cause I do not want to spend $1600,lol
Thanks |
Just called my local Napa Store near me. They don't carry the fuel filter lid im looking for[verymad]

Well I didn't think this would happen, but I found a wrecker that has the part that I need (im hoping its the same part). They are asking for $150 for it plus shipping. I have never found a Dodge Ram Cummins in a junk yard before so this is the first!!
Thanks for at least reading my post and thanks 9 sec camaro[guitar] |

Go to genogarage.com they sell a metal cap for around $60.00, it work great with a fuel pressure gauge. I'm real happy with mine.

buy a bypass system from walbro or somewhere and done even use the factory stuff. looking at about 1/3 the cost of the dealer part and alot better protection

this is just a sample of what there is. if i were you, i would go ahead and get the full walbro or similar system to help protect your vp-44

Thanks for the link..I've been looking around trying to find places that carry that,lol and had no luck.
Would it be easy/good to buy that kit, and then a walbro pump of some sort. Or is there a kit that has everything I need...bypass and pump? Does that Filter bolt in the stock spot? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a noob when it comes to fuel system delivery. Thanks though so far!! |
I agree with Rusty..$1600...give me a break.
Heres your chance to move the lift pump, install a big line kit and filter on the fremerail. Look at Vulcan Performance for some solutions. You can get a filter head from Cummins or go with a Racor style filter: http://www.o-f-i.com/index.php?page=...separators.htm I can track down the correct one if you are interested. Also, u can put a tapped banjo bolt in and sample fuel pressure at the VP-44 inlet. |
