Fuel Filter Change Need help fast
When did the switch occur with the fuel filters for our trucks? I always used the 1847170c92 (now 1847170c94). The new primary filter is different than what I took out (the end that goes first into the housing. What gives? and what is the correct part number?

The change was done to provide better sealing of the filter to the housing and prevent unfiltered bypass/leakage.
It does require a little more force to install. I use a torque wrench when tightening my filter cap and I have to go real slow or I'll get a premature torque click of the wrench before the cap is fully seated. Just make sure the cap seats on the flange face of the housing and you should be good.
