WRONG choice of filters, if it is the 1R-0750, 1R-0749 at 5-10 um (micron) and the 364-5287, 306-9199 at <4 um (micron) you have no water removal for costly injectors. Some guys have run them for years so they say with no issues but I would NOT run my truck without one in the stock position unless I had a lift pump that has a FWS, then you're OK. The websites need to update someday and Cat DOES not have a 2 micron manufactured for them ...............

They are listed at 2 micron from cat but I remember reading on here that they were tested and aren't true 2 micron "someone site or correct me please" and the Cat filter doesn't filter out water so my $0.02 is just run that filter than pick up a Donaldson next time you change it that has the water seporator built in. Or just get a lift pump..

Let me know how the water seperator works on the cat filter.
This filter does not have a water seperator so instead I am going to move it to the back after pump before a 7micron with seperator :( I wish they would just make this filter with a seperator

So what's a true 2 micron 1-14 thread fuel filter?

Any of the uhe+ cat filters work?
