Since this is posted in the 3rd gen forum I'am assuming yours is a 3rd gen truck. Baldwin Fuel filter 7977 is a direct replacement and is 5 micron vs dodge or fleetguard 10 and 7 micron filters.

You can run a glacierdieselpower.com. They have a nice 2 micron filter kit. I works with the stock filter. I have one on my truck and love it.

Yes, 5 micron is the smallest you can get for the stock canister.

However I will say the Glacier 2 micron setup is very easy to install and is fairly cheap for the extra protection.
