If anyone is interested in viewing what is required for parts or what is exactly required to install this PRE/POST CAT fuel filter system to the engine mount, then click on the following link to see my post:

If anyone is interested in this complete kit including the mounting bracket with predrilled holes & mounting hardware, the cost is $199 plus shipping. (Complete kit include everything required for this install, even the snap ties are included)


I also have just the mounting bracket with the predrilled holes & mounting hardware which I could sell seperately. Please email me for details or pricing.


What 's nice about being pre drilled holes is that you don't have to worry about not fitting & not getting enough hood clearance.


This install will take approx 30-45 minutes to complete due to the easy location & no drilling required.


My email address is kevtech@shaw.ca


Thanks for your interest & have fun with the install, good luck!!

KevTech,

Looks beautiful....... but when you change your
filter out, don't you run the risk of a lot of spillage
over the engine compartment. The smell of
diesel in under the hood will whaft in to the cabhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif

56Nomad,


I tried taking the filter off this afternoon when it was full of fuel. I cracked the air bleed valve, loosened off the filter with the filter wrench & then the rest of the way by hand. Once the filter came off the threads it dropped down nice & slow without hitting anything. Removed the filter full of fuel without a drop.


Actually, there was no spillage compared to any when changing the OEM fuel filter.


Then I put the filter back in place full of fuel & again not a drop any where. I then primed the system, closed the bleeder valve & started the truck up & drove it the rest of the day without any problems.This was definately a very clean procedure.Edited by: KevTech

Another sweet thing about this system is it would be really easy to remove when going to the dealer. Take out 2 bolts to remove bracket and put original hoses back on, prime and away you go. I think if I was to get this I would get the parts from you since you have easy access to them, (no cat dealer near me) and then build my own bracket from 3/8 plate. Just because I am into overbuilding everything. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
