Howdy Folks,

Just about to 49,000 miles and I've got a change fuel filter message on DIC. My question is, is this a milelage trigger message or other?

I've had P1093 in the past and did not have a change fuel filter message. Truck is due for regular maint. at 50K and will get changed then, unless I get engine limp.

Thanks.

The fuel filter change display is triggered by by miles-- there are no sensors that I know of, to trigger when it is time to change the filter.

It is important to change the filter on a regular schedule. If the filter gets plugged, the CP3 could suck dirt into the injection system, and cause lots of damage. :eek:

its triggered every 15000 miles

Yeah, no sensors... Mine doesn't even have the minder...

mine hasnt been triggered yet but i kno i need to change my filter

Careful, not all trucks have this filter minder. Mine doesn't. You could be waiting on something that will never show up...

Would this be an option in the DIC menu or something else? I saw the oil life one, but not the fuel filter one....

If it's there, yes.

I think it was on 05 trucks and some had to be flashed to get the display.

My 04 does not have it!

Not on my 05...Must need a flashin....I just keep writing on the filter with the Marks a lot

my 05 does it at about every 10,000 miles.

my 04 doesnt seem to have it. i change the fuel filter every other oil change. roughly 10k miles

Thanks guys.

I have never had the message before, owned the truck since 16K miles. Seemed odd. However I had a new ECM installed when one of the stealerships diagnosed my truck incorrrectly for a crank shaft sensor problem. It could explain why this is the 1st time I've seen the message.

so this thing came on why I was driving yesterday and has not come on since. I changed the filter a few thousand miles ago but it was odd that it went on then off and has not come back

We had the reflash in April 05 and the fuel filter came on after like above said. I just changed the fuel filter and have done so 6 times but one time it it was a mistake thinking it was the problem. we drive 6500 miles each year so every April the filter get replaced.Way too easy of a job not to keep it new. The dic showed 54%. I cut the filter to see the inside .
