Score on better filtration

[Gamble]

For a long time now I have been contemplating better filtration for my truck as it is still using the stock filter housing.....post assassin pump.  I have been wanting to purchase a VP max 3 micron dual remote filter kit from vulcan to take care of this and keep the pump clean and debri free also. I just couldn't pull the trigger as it seemed something more important always required my attention. 

 

As I cruised through craigslist the other night I stumbled upon a fella selling a brand new setup still in the box and plastic wrap.  He had purchased it for his common rail, but ended up buying a FASS after a lift pump failure.  He no longer needed and the price was right...1/2 price from the websites.  I promptly called him, confirmed its status, and offered to purchase it.  

 

I picked it up today and will hopefully get it all installed her soon.  I know there are better filters than the Donaldson's which are installed on it, but they are better than what I have now so I can't complain.  Anyway....I am just excited to further increase the life of the cummins and wanted to share.....for some reason.  I'll post a picture once I get it installed.

I do believe the donaldson is the best depending on the filter number

Yep. Donaldson is pretty much top of the line when it comes to filters anymore. I use Donaldson, Baldwin, or Fleetgaurd. Whatever is cheapest at the time.

Racor is the final answer on fuel filtration. Every large boat has one. Most heavy equipment OEM filters are rebadged Racors. Most semis are Racor.

Thanks guys.  I knew Donaldson's were good, but I always assume there is something better.  Yank-Can the Racors be purchased at the big truck parts places?

[Yankneck696]

There or Ebay. The prefilters can get quite large for desired fuel flow, but are the best in the industry. The F500 would be fine for your truck. https://www.google.com/search?q=racor+f500&client=firefox-a&hs=v4u&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&biw=1600&bih=778&tbm=isch&imgil=HqLXLHTVhiY6fM%253A%253Bl5OMnBewh-WKWM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.cruisersforum.com%25252Fforums%25252Ff54%25252Fcleaning-racor-500-fg-filter-problem-15223.html&source=iu&fir=HqLXLHTVhiY6fM%253A%252Cl5OMnBewh-WKWM%252C_&usg=__kcdi2c7v67ID3tM7XOxFbwOz0lM%3D&sa=X&ei=pMUPVK3oDIScjAL0u4CoBA&ved=0CCMQ9QEwAA#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=HqLXLHTVhiY6fM%253A%3Bl5OMnBewh-WKWM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.jtts4x4.com%252Fboutique%252Fimages_produits%252F900J50_2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cruisersforum.com%252Fforums%252Ff54%252Fcleaning-racor-500-fg-filter-problem-15223.html%3B241%3B425
