arguy 12-17-2004, 08:09 PM :eek: "2005 will have two fuel filters,and upgrade will be available this spring,for all duramax's" I am not accusing anyone of starting a rumor, but I read this and thought it would be nice if it were true - so,, is there any supporting evidence to this comment???????? :confused: Max Power 12-17-2004, 08:11 PM I doubt it. Where did you read it? GM came out with a new more effecient fuel filter but that is all I am aware of. There are quite a few 2005's out there, I'm sure we would have heard by now if they had 2 fuel filters. arguy 12-17-2004, 08:19 PM Here, in a conversation on a different thread. Quoted from a GM engineer, i don't believe everything I read, but I figured I would through it out there.... lakingslayer 12-17-2004, 09:08 PM probably marketing people saying the 2 sets of pleats on the new filter is two filters. 1822 12-18-2004, 07:05 AM I was told by my GMC dealer that the MD 4500 & 5500 with DM will have two fuel filters soon. MICKD 12-18-2004, 10:38 AM I was told by my GMC dealer service manager that GM is working on secondary filter system for the Dmax, but when it becomes availible the dealership must be installed it. :mad: You can buy it from them but YOUR installation will void warrantee. -:t No idea when that will be?! cost around $200.00 or so??? arguy 12-18-2004, 07:23 PM I hope they include a lift pump! Censored Oh thats right, you said $200.00 That means it will be the $35.00 filter mount with $5.00 worth of rubber tubing, two $1.00 clamps and a $10.00 filter. Then they will charge $100.00 for mounting the junk. -:t jbplock 12-19-2004, 08:31 AM It could be the Racor Kit we heard about months ago... IIRC, rumor was that GM would install the kit as an option.. TheBac 12-19-2004, 08:41 AM Lets hope if it is the Racor kit, they make sure it's the "deluxe" type (with WIF and heater) and will include the rockguards. Tom hoot 12-19-2004, 08:55 AM Lets hope if it is the Racor kit, they make sure it's the "deluxe" type (with WIF and heater) and will include the rockguards. Tom What good's a rockguard when the fuel cooler is so exposed as it is. In case you haven't noticed the antilock brake system is in the frame rail with electrical plugs waiting to be submerged in water and mud. On the other hand.... have we ever heard of any complaints of damaged fuel coolers, punctured fuel filters or antilock brake system problems due to contamination or shorting. Almost none since day one. TheBac 12-19-2004, 12:13 PM Having a bad day? Sure sounds like you're a little testy today, Hoot. If GM were to install these, we may as well insist on the whole package.... Tom :eek: | ||
