i think im going to run the cat 2 micron filter and update they got my pump today at 8:30 AM so it should be on its way back the coming week!

 

update ive been doing some painting and polishing i hated the crome simulators so they are gone now black ill post more pics tomorrow i hated the chrome mirror caps they are black now ill post pics of them tomorrow i wet sanded the tail lighs with 1200 and puffed them out and repainted the guards i still need to buff out the head lights and cab marker lights and maybe paint the grill black cause the chrome is peeling off and it looks kinda back any thoughts? and it needs a goo wash as soon as it fires up

 

the damage seems to be centered around water in the fuel. better filtration is always good but better water remover would be high on the list too.

see here: Duramax Fuel Filter, Duramax Diesel Fuel Filter, Duramax Fuel Filter Change

the updated filters that contain the coalescing media in them seem to work many times better at protecting the injectors.

if you want to take it further then i like the idea of adding the 2 micron cat filter in line with the stock filter. if you can find them cheaper then put it ahead of the stock filter. if it is more expensive then put it after.

i have been thinking of going to a truck graveyard and finding a filter housing that takes large cheap filters and using it as a pre filter.

 

here the pics and i think im going to run the cat filter with fuel additive what do you think?

hummmm im puzzled cat 2 micron vs Racor humm and that Opti-Lube XPD looks pretty good

 

Why dont you have your cake and eat it too? Put both filters on and run your favorite additive. I have two racor filters in parallel to reduce the flow for better removal and less pressure drop but I would like to put a cheap prefilter on it too ahead of the racors

 

I think I'll run the cat I have ordered and as soon as I can I'll put a racor after it

 

the cats on back order for 6 months so I ordered the racor and my pump will be here wed

 

might be getting a set of 4 Kenda Klever MTs with 1500 miles on them for $325 then id only need two more and spacers for the rear they are 285/75R16 Load Range E
