2 micron cat 1r749 filter

made up a 2 micron filter between my stock filter and cp3 with all cat parts. i think it came out good. seeing about half a psi diference at full throttle on fuel pressure. stock intank pump rest of the truck is stock

heres a picture from diferent perspective

The radius on the hose looks a bit tight, but other than that, it looks really good.

How much did the head set you back?? Part #?



How expensive are those Cat filters?? I heard they are fairly inexpensive??



Your setup looks good... almost looks like OE.

Looks good. Could you post up the part #'s please?

I would love to have my 2-mic filter right there but that is the exact spot my Apps sits, thanks Dodge.

I had the same issue. I fabricated a couple of brackets out of a piece of angle iron and flat steel, and mounted a perma-cool filter there, anyway.

 

[rbattelle]

Nice filter placement. Did you fabricate the bracket yourself?

Looks good. Where are you measuring the pressure?



I can't help but wonder what will happen with all these auxiliary filter systems when the temperature goes down to, say 10 degrees. Probably not a problem in California though. If you do see some cold temps please do post up how the 2 mic filter with the stock lift pump performs.

At least on our C12 Cat, the filter restriction gauge is normally ~2". Goes to almost 5-7" when the fuel is cold. Comes down when the fuel warms up.

I use one of those Cat filters between my aux tank and the main tank. I also use Howes year round. More Howes during cold snaps. Good installation and pics. I would like to get rid of the banjo bolts and increase the amount of fuel available to the engine fuel filter. Any kits out for that?

I have the Cat. 1R-0749, 2 mic. , fuel filter serving the auxillary fuel tank on my '03. It's been there for well over a year & has worked well.



The filter head (mount) is a Cummins product.



I believe that the 1R-0749 is the longer version of the other filter that has been mentioned. Mine is about 11" long (filter, that is!!!).

www.glacierdieselpower.com makes good kits. I have their 2 micron kit sitting in my living room begging for an install

The 1R0749 crosses over to a WIX 33674 or NAPA 3674. NAPA is showing the price at $21. 89, don't know how that compares to Cat's pricing.

FF5319 fleetguard crosses to that 0749 cat... i've got 2 of them [±9. 5" tall] sitting at home, along with 2 ff5320's [±7" tall] . . they both were under $20cdn/each from cummins [missassauga, ontario, canada]. they had instock the 19's, but the 20's are were not in stock

 

[Buffalo]

The Cat filter sells for about $18. 00.

Careful with filter number cross references

Be careful about cross reference filter numbers. I am in the process of putting a Stanadyne FM1000 between the stock filter and CP3. The biggest delay finding the right filter. I have discovered that many of the cross reference numbers do not necessarily match the micron size or especially efficiency. I have finally found a Donaldson filter that will work. Now I just have to find someone that can get it for me.

true, but those fleetguard/cat cross ref numbers are for 2µ filters
