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.

Well, if he said it requires a 5 micron filter, have him show you one from the parts department or give you a part number.

do you think a dealer will void your warranty if you put the Glacier 2 micron set up on the truck??


I want the Glacier setup but don't want to void the warranty!

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.

I would trust what the dealer says about as far as I could throw the dealership

To the best of my knowledge Cummins still says to run the 7.
if anyone sees otehrwise from any cummins reps post up!

Can anyone confirm this?

Pooter

Still havent seen a 5 micron from fleetgaurd....

7 and 2 are the only I know of, and from what I hear 2 isnt good on a stock fuel system(restriction)

subspd

I will call him on Monday and try to get a part number...

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.

FYI.Cummins actually puts a 2 mic filter on ALL of thier industrial/marine engines.Same filter as glacier uses.

Will it fit our trucks?
