I may have to get a 68RFE in my new truck.

It is listed as MOPAR on Geno’s but I am confident it’s a FleetGuard filter.

best thing you can do with the filter by the engine is get a billet aluminum lid for it . They come off much easier then those miserable plastic ones. Genos Garage and others sell them

Why have a simple spin on filter when you can make another PIA filter !

Personally I prefer a cartridge filter over a spin on. You can inspect for defects/damage before installation and for contamination after the fact.

Fleetguard makes a primary for the 13-18 but to my knowledge OEM was always Racor.

I won't believe it's fleetguard unless there is a fleetguard logo stamped into the black plastic..... Like the engine mounted molars actually have fleetguard stamped/molded into them.

But not to worry about Mopar branded filters. I believe they all come with a parts warranty.

"WAS" as in 13-18. 19 and newer they are a canister and most likely a FleetGuard filter.

OK, what brand is the new pre filter? Looks like a FleetGuard housing.

You could be right. It could also be a Racor, Donaldson, or whatever other manufacturer bid the lowest. The engine mounted filter is delivered as a package with the engine to Ram, the primary not so much. So it's a lowest bidder that meets the desired filtering efficiency gets the award. Being Fleetguard has historically been a little more expensive than other manufacturers I'd bet it's not a Fleetguard but have no facts to back that up.

RV, any chance you can see if there are pins in that plug?

Here’s the picture.

good afternoon gentlemen okay I had my oil changed on Friday the truck is ready to go and I decided to go with Shell rotella t6 540 hopefully it will work out really well and here's a picture in Danville Virginia right now at a shopping center it's level guys as far as I can see check it out maybe nobody's commented on that yet I'm shocked.

 

[TFucili]

How did they get it on the lift with the fiver attached???

View attachment 115966 Here’s the picture.

Looks like an empty socket, all the more reason to believe it's not a Fleetguard. Fleetguard doesnt make filters/assemblies to other manufacturers specs the way Racor and Donaldson do. Looks like a one size fits all filter cartridge.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I obviously disconnected The damp the ram 3500 and it only took like 45 minutes or whatever but they charged me way too much I paid 192 with the rotella t6 full synthetic yeah I know it's a rip-off but you know what the place was convenient and that was with the filter and everything my mistake won't happen again.

Actually that fleetguard water separator/primary filter is actually a rebranded parker/racor. I have both a Parker/Racor and a Fleetguard in the shed. They are identical. And even though the fleetguard has the fleetguard part number stamped on the housing...... IT HAS THE RACOR/PARKER part # on the cellophane wrapper around it. They obviously came from the same production plant with different paint jobs.

Hey guys just had a motor carrier officer check my overall length near my house I actually know the guy he's a motor carrier officer enforcement guy My overall length is 59 ft with the RV and with the pickup so 59 ft is my overall length he said you're good you're good.

 

[Cummins12V98]

Why are you parked ON the Highway in the fast lane??? Or are you at the Truck Scales in the pic?

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

You are correct that is the weigh scale near my house and that's where they pull out the portable scale sometimes and do inspections and stuff like that and as I said the motor carrier enforcement officer who I know fairly well he said yes you are 59 feet long a hundred percent you said you're good at what how long are we allowed to because I don't even know??????

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

If you look at the photo with my wife there are three lanes for the DOT to line trucks up in so they can do inspections and weight the trucks.
For me its a great place to take pictures and it really straight and level for checking the RV and PU truck to make sure all is kosher and lined up correctly.

I still believe my Lippert TrailAir leans a couple of degrees to the LEFT and others have mentioned this on other forums too but its riding so well I will just leave it alone for now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and I now have 97 psi in the airbag on the TrailAir and its just wonderful how active and smooth its working.
