Yeah...it's that time again where i wish i had gasoline engines...I need to replace the fuel filters on both of my trucks...Cummins & D-max. Anybody know of a source where i can get them for less cash then at the dealership? Help is greatly appreciated!

 

www.genosgarage.com for the Cummins. Can't help you on the Dmax though.

I get my cummins filters right at my local Cummins dealer, the fuel filter is around $10.00 for the 10 micron or around $12.00 for the 7 micron, also about $9.00 for the oil filter. These are all flletguard filters.

As far as your D-max goes, your best bet is original equipment, I believe GM went to a 2-4 micron filter and I'm am not sure of its after market availability.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the info...i haven't called my dodge dealer yet but chevy quoted around 200 bucks for the fuel filter replacement

 

I buy all my filters from www.scheiddiesel.com they are the cheapest I've found for fleetguard. FWIW

Does anyone know about dodge going to a 7 micron fuel filter? i think i read something about that.

 

Here's a second for Genos.

 

You can get the 7 micron at Geno's:

I also get my stuff from Genos. The have a good deal on the 4/2/1 kits. Look them up and you'll see what I mean.

EDIT: Heres the link. http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....K2003-AF-FL-DG These are the good 7 micron filters and the stratapore oil filters.

Good God, and dealers wonder why they have such a bad rep.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ yepper just ordered my 1st kit from Geno's Thanks for the info RockCRAWLER

 

if you do not want to pay dealer retails and do not want to mail order it check with your local Cummins supplier.

Actually the Dmax fuel filter is a bunch different than what we have on the CUmmins. I had a bud who had an early Dmax. I helped him do the periodic services. I remember he mentioned the price of his fuel filter and it was a LOT! Not a replaceable cartridge like ours, but more like a spin on oil filter. You just take the whole thing off & discard it.

Remember the Dodge dealer's price on the fuel filter?

 

Glad I could help. Geno's is awesome!!
