discussion lately has stated that fuel filters are only sold with the plastic housing. I see on NAPA site that fuel filter for 6.7 is available element and O-ring only, no housing. Anybody use these or is there a better option out there?

 

there are sold either way if u havent switched over to the newer style where u can change the elment at less then half the price.

 

if you have changed your filter sense it was new all u need is a replacement i run mopar filters but thats just me

 

I order FleetGuard from Geno's, filter with or without housing, of course thats after I took it up the A$$ (no lube) from the local stealership, I could of purchased it from Geno's for 1/6th of the price

 

I use the NAPA filter and have no problems.

 

i run mopar only,had bad exp. with cheaper paper ones collapsing

 

I settled on WIX, this is a big trucking town and WIX is their first choice in most autoparts stores. I like the elements, guy made me a deal on buying two elements and two filter/element packages. Geno was out, dang it. Modified the wheel skirt by cutting 1 1/2 inch section next to shock off and filter can be changed without going under truck. I found my old "pump filter pliers" with the long wide jaws for irrigation pumps and they work great removing the old housing. Then underneath for about a minute to attach sensor wire and woop woop done in under 15 minutes. Pop riveted a rubber flap over the enlarged opening so the wheel skirt still does the deed. I change fuel filter at 7500 miles with my oil and filter, what has everybody else been doing?
