Dealer recommends 5 micron fuel filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I went to the dealer today to have the high idle engaged. Works nice SM told me that it is a good idea to have it on there since the injectors fire twice during idle on the 06'+ to make the idle more quite but because of all that extra fuel it will fowl up the injectors fast. So then I mentioned I got some Fleetgaurd 7 micron fuel filters and he said 'You got the wrong ones DC requires 5 micron filters now'... I almost fell over I thought the premuim fleetgaurd 7 micron filter was the best I could get??? Has anyone else heard of a 5 micron filter?

I have yet to see a 5 micron for sale(for the stock filter location)
Glacier and Fass sell 2 micron setups, but have yet to see a fleetguard or equivilent filter.

It's a crap shoot. The best thing is to go talk to your dealer, and service rep about it, if there cool then go ahead. One thing to think of though is if the service rep leaves his place of employment you might be in for bad luck with the next guy.

2 micron fuel filter
I ran the GDP 2 micron FleetGuard on my '05 and only
noticed a .5 psi drop 6.7psi -->6.2 psi so there isn't
much restriction there with the stock in-tank pump.
Could be more than that with a higher volume pump.
