anyone running this system? Just watched the YouTube video and are impressed on this system. I think FASS has always been the way to go but 3 years now waiting on them to release their system this looks to be competitive minus not have a pump.
Umm, I'm confused, did that have something to do with installing the new filtering system or was this meant for one of the other threads talking about MPG'sI just did a 3200 mile road trip, ave. MPG was 10.1 one little stint I was 6.8, DIC was showing about 7.5. View attachment 1108013 View attachment 1108014
I'm just not concerned about it if it voids it at this point. I can't replace it with the same truck and same options if a faulty filter grenades the engine. I really really really despise the new interior look on the 2023 snd 2024 trucks. especially that hideous screen. and with there being restrictions on what options are actually available I can't get a truck equal to mine. so I decided to just swap it out and what happens if something comes up it happens.Jonm..
Is the fuel system considered part of the powertrain warranty? My papers say I have a 5 yr 100k Powertrain coverage.
I agree, the stock setup is very iffy if bad fuel was introduced. There was a case of a gas station around here sending lots of water into cars gas tanks. All it takes is one bad load and problems could start. I suspect the worse case would be dirty fuel that restricts the flow as you said.
If I recall there is a sensor or something that can tell when the pressure is out of balance or something to determine fuel filter life. I wonder if it is partially plugged up there would be DIC warning or corresponding filter life reduction.
I'm going to setup data logging on the idash for the lift pump and see how it performs during next regen and try and watch it over the next few weeks.$650 seems pretty cheap to me, if you know what I mean. Yeah I'm sure at that price they're making plenty of profit for a dual filter head setup but it could be invaluable for your truck. It'll be a high priced option until some real competition shows up.
Good write-up on the install. Looks like a nice setup.
I like the VSE filter and it almost certainly does a better job. Plus, it is a hell of a lot easier to change the filters since there is no plastic to strip or problems getting bad things in the cap. I agree there are probably more but how many Cat/Donaldson filter failures are there? : ) Not trying to turn this into an argument to not use the VSE or that the OEM filter is great. I was just wondering if there was some other reasons to not trust the OEM filter. If there were more reasons, I would consider switching a higher priority but I will probably wait for my warranty to run out.Seems like there must be a reason or the VSE filter solution and it's doubtful they funded the R&D over 3 filter failures. If there are 3 that we know of on this little forum, how many have there been in total?
