Below is a post I saw over an other Dodge forum and thought you all may want to read this.

here is the abridged version :

SUBJECT:
Fuel And Fuel Filtering Requirements For Cummins 5.9L And 6.7L Engines
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves a discussion regarding fuel system requirements.
MODELS:
2006 - 2007 (DH/D1/DC) Ram Truck (Heavy Duty)
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 5.9L High Output or a 6.7L
Cummins Turbo-Diesel Engine (sales codes ETH or ETJ respectively) that
were built on or after March 07, 2006 (MDH 0307XX).
. . . . . . . .
Proper On-vehicle Final Fuel Filtering:
- The large fuel filter mounted at the engine is the final fuel filter, water separator, fuel
heater, and water drain. This filter is the final “line of defense” when maintaining a high
level of fuel quality. If the diesel fuel is contaminated or contains moisture, the engine
mounted fuel filter system is the last chance to affect possible correction.
- The quality of the fuel, its prior storage, and fuel handling prior to the final filter all have a
significant impact on the amount of contamination and moisture entering the final fuel filter.
- It is important to drain accumulated moisture/water at least monthly from the final fuel
filter. Do not wait until the “Water In Fuel” indicator illuminates before performing this
maintenance.
- Maintenance on the final fuel filter / water separator is important. Follow the maintenance
schedule per ther Owners Manual. Replace the filter more frequently if highly
contaminated or high moisture content fuel is encountered.
- On a 5.9L engine, if the final fuel filter is replaced due to a high moisture content diesel
fuel, verify that the water sensor probes in the final filter have been cleaned. Excessive
moisture may contaminate the sensor sensing probes. The 6.7L engine includes a new
water-in-fuel sensor with the new final fuel filter element.
- The final fuel / water separator filter must meet or exceed OEM specifications. Some
aftermarket filters may not meet OEM specifications.
- The final fuel / water separator filter must meet or exceed the filtration specifications
listed in the table below.

- Final fuel / water separator filters that meet the above specifications are approved for use
on Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines.
- The use of non-approved fuel filters will result in engine performance deterioration, and/or
possible progressive damage to the engine from foreign particle ingestion, and/or fuel
system component corrosion.
It is recommended that customers use the MOPAR approved or Cummins Equivalent fuel
filters to protect the engine from debris and water contamination.

Why is the part number for the 2006-2007 5.9L missing (8 lines up from the bottom)? Do you have that info?
