Without more info that is a hard question to answer. What filters are they? What truck do you have? Fill in your signature with your truck info so we know some of the info we are looking at.

its an 02 2500hd lb7

what 2 micron filter will work

We still need more info.

Where did you find this "list"

What type of filters are they and do you have any numbers?

Easy answer is no, they wont fit.... the only filter that fits the OEM filter housing is the OEM style filter.

However, there are still options....

Baldwin had one that will fit.. I will have to go out and look at the part number that is on mine.. it is suppose to be a 2 micron filter.. I will post later today

The Baldwin part number is BF7827
It works fine and is the same externally as a stock filter except it is gold.

But is it a 2 micron filter?? I run Baldwin on everything except for the trans filter, and have 6 BF7827's sitting in the garage waiting for their turn. But I have never been able to find the micron ratings on them. If they are 2 micron then that is awesome, I don't need to waste money on an Aux setup. But I'm fairly sure that it isn't a 2 micron filter.

Here is where I read up on it...

interesting

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the info.:thumb:

I guess I know what I'll be buying from here on out:D

I was looking for an alternative to paying my dealer $56 for a fuel filter, so I stopped by my local Fleetpride Dealer and almost bought the Baldwin. This one was silver. It said maid in China on it. I had the service counter guy call Baldwin, and they told him that it was a 5 micron filter. It looks just like the Racor/Delco, but I passed on it since I did not know for sure that it was OK.

i just bought the Baldwin for the oem and a fleetguard 10 micron for the air dog. hopefully the air dog will catch most the big stuff where as the Baldwin will filter out the fine stuff without being clogged so fast by the big stuff. still thinking about adding a 1 micron absolute after the oem the fleetguard replacement for the air dog are the cheepest filter to replace i get them for 15 bucks shipped to my door. anyone know how much miles i can expect to get out of the baldwin?

We carry the Racor which is the AC Delco from the dealer for far less than that. You can actually buy a 3 filter kit from us for less than the one fuel filter from the dealer. The Dmax maint Pkg includes 1 of each of the following:
Allison Spin-On
Baldwin Oil
Racor or Wix Fuel filter. Check them out here:
