What are you guys using from the local auto parts stores. What part numbers. Also how often are you changing them

Robin posted some pics and part numbers of filters in this thread (see post 14). https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...250-7-3-a.html

I would just check it every oil change. Really depends on fuel quality. Some people get a bad tank of diesel and can clog them up pretty quick.

Here is a link to two of the prepump filters I have used. I've run the CAT filter for a few thousand miles now with no problems...I ran the WIX for many thousands of miles with no problems.

This is the filter I've run for a long time on two trucks, think I got them at O'reilly. I like them but I've convinced myself that Murphy is going to step in and something is going to ricochet around just right and break the glass. And now that I said it, it will probably happen tomorrow. Think I'll put a piece of that foam PVC pipe insulation on them in the morning.

Mine and Robin's are equivalent. As i have stated before, the wix 33007 is a diesel fuel filter (available at Oreillys, etc).
I have owned several mercedes which use these filters but i may have gotten the idea from Robin to use them on my truck.
I reduced my 3/8 line to 5/16 just before the filter to ensure a good fit to the filter.

Mines' based off SpringerPop's creation. I ordered my filters and filter base from fleetfilter.com..(cant beat the price). To mount the base, got a 3x4 .063 angle metal, and used the 2-holes on frame to mount..(no hole drilling in frame). Plumbed all up, and been great for 30k+ miles. Change mine out every 15k...will post # of filter later...#3121. Gonna post pics, but batteries dead..
