Unhappy Why No 2 Micron???

I talked with a GM Engineer who works on Chevy Trucks with the DuraMax Diesel. He stated that the Chevy trucks have the SAME fuel system (Bosch Common-Rail) as the Cummins but they have a TWO MICRON fuel filter! Why doesn't Dodge come out with that? The best we have is the 7-micron fuel filter.

I hope NOBODY still uses that 10-micron.

I hope NOBODY still uses JUST that 10-micron.
