Prime-Loc Emergency!!

[BCFAST]

As you can see in my sig, I have a 97 that had a Prime-Loc on it when I bought it... I am wanting to remove it. After taking off the adapter plate where the stock filter is supposed to be, I see that it isn't a screw-on filter hub like the Prime-Loc!! Please, please tell me that my truck isnt supposed to have that canister-type filters on it (that DC want about $400 for!). My engine tag says "8/21/96". The thing is all apart and I need to know what to do in order to leave the house at all!

Thanks,

Brian

The Fleetguard filter that is origianl replacement for your truck is FS19528. The ~$15. 00 from Geno's. No need to worry about the price of the replacements.



I can't tell you if it is a spin on or not. The filter for your '97 is different than that off my '96.

97 here, CANISTER SHE IS!!!



Not bad to change, just awkward. You need a part or two, check with the previous owner, maybe it is on the garage shelf!!

The parts you need are also available from the dealer separately, no need to buy the entire housing.

BCFAST,

it's the canister type. I kept mine in case I want to change back. Have you looked at a junkyard for one?

No, I sure havent. Not sure of any decent junk yards that would have something like this... any idea if this canister-type filter is Dodge-specific? Im the 3rd owner of this truck, and the original canister is long-gone.

I have the parts out in the shop I pulled off a 97 I no longer have it has all hardware and sensor. Do you want to sell your prime loc?
