thanks for the part # you think they would be proud to keep all of them on the raod they can its the last real truck dodge built my 01 sucks they where worried about comfort and not some thing that would last it is sitting behind the barn now it is soon to be my p pump parts doner truck

 

The fuel water sensor where the fuel filter screws in is leaking where the plug goes in. I cleaned up the socket good and epoxyed it good. That didn't stop the leak. It is still leaking in the socket. I know that the housing unscrews from the under the intake manifold but in order to get it out do I have to take off the push rod cover? Any body know where I can get a new sensoe housing? Again, it is the one that the fuel filter screws into. The top one. Thanks

 

Don't know about the mount. Plan to try and surface mine with 400 grit when I get to it. BUT the mopar number on the water sensor is 1-04429116 if you want to call out your dealer.

 

The O-Ring is a smaller diameter the the stock one I have had this happen with several other filters. O-RING.

 

i think i will buy a cummins filter and see if that dose the trick thanks for all the help everyone

 

just fyi you might try your local peterbuilt or kenworth or other dealer of the like, i went to peterbuilt and gave them the fleetgaurd number and they had two of them in stock so i got a new sensor and a new filter might as well change that while im changing the sensor. i had no luck at the dodge dealer or other regular parts stores!

 

I called the local dealer. The fuel heater element is $245.00. Dodge part # 4429527AC. Anyone know where else I can get one at a better price?

 

The only thing that WIF sensor does besides cause leaks is light the dash indicator if you get too much water in the fuel. If you don't run into that problem on a regular basis you can get a bigger, better filter with just a drain on it and leave the WIF sensor in the glovebox.

That's what I did, anyway.
How did we get from the WIF sensor to the heater?

 

what is the bigger better filter

 

The FS1000 (Fleetguard) is about a 10" tall F/W separating filter w/drain in 1-14 thread spud size. There's many out there. You just have to search the filter maker's cross-refs to find the one that suits your taste or budget.
