You might be able to adapt an AIS for an SD to your truck. It uses a large element similar to the 6.0 that is supposed to provide excellent filtration.

I run a 150 micron pre - pump and 2 micron post, but I've had a couple fill ups in the field were I've watched dust and other crap blow right into the fill hole of the tank. It's unavoidable in those conditions... I opt for the bigger filter as I believe I'd clog the smaller ones a lot faster.

I wired up a fuel heater on my pre filter as well. I believe it comes on around 50 degrees or so, but I wired a toggle to it as it does not need to be running at those temps.

Just run your filters down on the frame rail on the same bracket as the pump. No need to have them in the engine bay. It's actually kinda nice to have them under the truck. When I change my oil I pull the drain plug to drain the oil, then roll around and drain the fuel from the fuel canister, and do the fuel filter while I'm under the truck.

Farm69, my 2 micron currently has about 8000 miles on it and I'm not dropping fuel pressure.. So if you change filters every other oil change like your supposed to, the 2 micron is fine being the first filter. I just been lazy b/c I have to order my filters in bulk being that it's a Dahl filter setup...
