I'm like most I see here and replace every 10K or less. Better safe than sorry. Diesels are not as forgiving as gas motors when particles get thru and hit the injector tips...

I would try it....Might have to do something with the WIF sensor tho...If it does throw a DIC message it would be easy to put back to stock

Or lenghten the wires and see if you can run it to the water seperator on the airdog some of the filters available even have provisions for a WIF sensor with 2 wires out the bottom of the filter, might be able to find 1 that would work
with the OEM WIF sensor

P.S. Hows that tranny holding up ?
