The truck never showed any codes and never lost any power, I still was getting low 12's when it went into "limp mode", still no codes. shut it down and restarted the DPF full showed.
How is it possable that a $50,000 truck would not shut down when a designated ammount of water was detected or even show a code for water in fuel?
What should be replaced? Flush it and try to run it or will I expect to have issues for the rest of my life?  |
just dont know why a 2 stage prefilter with recirculating winter heated element or a tank heating pad isnt standard to prevent gelling during winter months it works for volvo arctic package has a 12 volt element built in.
50 or 60 thousand dollar truck and its not there from the factory guess they would rather sell parts and warranty labor??
Will this cause to much backpressure on the factory pump set up ?the "Racor" is a quality unit with the site glass on the bottom to view contaminants.
could mount in under the bed rail just past the tank inlet.
This Racor diesel filter is brand new in the box. It removes 99% of water in your fuel and comes with a low restriction heat exchanger installed inside the unit that can use engine coolant or return fuel lines to heat the incoming fuel up to 90 degrees in one pass! Heating the fuel prevents gelling, filter plugging and increase water seperation as water is much easier to be seperated at warmer temperatures. The heater has a thermostat to control the heating so there is nothing for you to do in the warmer months, this unit takes care of it.
This unit is also has 2 heating ports for using 1 or 2 electric heaters that can be used in conjunction with or without the coolant heater being used (the filter will arrive with them capped off). Racor offers a 120VAC, 12VDC or 24VDC heaters for this unit. We stock the 120 VAC electric heating element for $68. We also stock the 2 micron filters for this unit at $16 each and combine shipping for added savings.
Other features of this unit include a fuel primer port on top of the assembly, a internal check valve that prevents loss of prime, a heavy-duty integrated mounting bracket that is part of its one piece billet aluminum machined body, a clear bottom bowl that allows the operator to check for water and solid contamination at a glance, and a self-venting drain which allows the water to be drained off from the fuel without tools and without the need to re-prime the unit.
This filter also has a water in fuel probe port and a color coded vacuum restriction gauge accurately display fuel filter element condition and tell you when it needs to be changed saving you time and money. Owner's manual with installation tips, specifications, parts diagram with part numbers for everything on the unit is also included.
This one does it all :
Specifications:
Maximum Flow Rate 150 GPH (568 LPH)
Fuel and Coolant Port Size ½” NPT
Maximum Working Pressure 30 PSI (2.1 bar)
Maximum Temperature Range -40° to +255°F (-40° to +124°C)
i head there was a severe duty filter package coming from dodge soon ?dont know the part number?
i want one for my truck to prevent these problems also. Seeing we are not supposed to put additives in to tank. we dont even have #1 diesel here in central texas but a bullit proof prefilter setup would increase filter interval changes on the primary filter.
This setup works for every line hauler in the world it should fit the dodge too !!!
