Description
The best upgrade you can make to ensure the longevity of your Duramax is to add additional fuel filtration. Its been proven time and again the stock filtration allows excessive material to pass onto the injectors, quite literally destroying them. This complete fuel system upgrade gives you proper filtration with nothing else left to be desired. The durable anodized filter adapter simply threads on to the OEM Filter Head and allows you run the more efficient and less expensive CAT Filter on your truck. For an even easier filter change, we also include a filter head spacer to give you more clearance for filter changes, along with an aluminum bleeder screw to replace the factory supplied plastic version that is commonly damaged during routine maintenance.

About XDP
XDP is Your Source for All Kinds of Diesel Accessories

Whether you're after engine dress up items, heavy duty gear reduction starters, transmission coolers, or anything in beteween, Xtreme Diesel Performance manufacturers a full breadth of products for your Cummins, Duramax, Powerstroke, or EcoDiesel to keep it on the road and running properly. Nowadays, its hard to find a manufacturer of OE level products that produces at least a little bit of everything. Instead, you're forced to buy your new injectors from one company, the injection pump from another, and then your gasket installation kit from yet another company. By maintaining and constantly growing their catalog of XDP Mfg. branded parts, you're able to stick with a single manufacturer in many instances, adding simplicity and peace of mind that components will work in tandem with one another.

From Exhaust Bolts to Radiators, Xtreme Diesel Power Has Your Needs Covered.

Due to their extensive knowledge in light duty diesel parts, XDP Manufacturing is able to determine shortcomings in factory parts and create a solution to ensure your diesel truck is as reliable as it can be. When it comes time to replace a damaged or worn part on your diesel truck, wouldn't you rather replace it with something that's proven to last, and hopefully last longer than the piece you're replacing? Of course you would! This is where you can trust in XDP's line of electronics and engine parts to keep your truck on the road for the long haul.

Bleeder screw not cut right

"Bleeder screw threads not fully cut so was unable to use without potentially causing damage to filter housing had to stick with the stock plastic one also would love to see a set screw or two to lock the adapter onto the oem housing as to not have it come off every time you change your filter"

James M. (1/5)

As expected

"Better quality filter. Straight forward adapter. Came with no directions on oring placement but you can find one on the website. My only issue is I had to install and reinstall several times to get it to seal. It leaked between the adapter and filter. Yes, I lubed the orings in diesel. Not sure if I’d buy again"

Bandon P. (3/5)

Adaptor leaks

"Installed on my 2006 GMC, leaks fuel at the adaptor. No response after emailing customer support."

Matt (1/5)

Awesome complete filter and adapter

"Awesome complete filter and adapter set,"

William T. (5/5)

Diesel filter

"Great filter option for the duramax."

Albert D. (5/5)

Decent adapter

"The adapter, filter, and spacer were pretty nice and easy to install. However, the one that I received has a plastic bleed screw, when this is advertised to have an aluminum one. There were no instructions, however they're not that necessary and installation is straightforward"

Andrew (3/5)

Cheap Insurance

"Bought to protect my injectors until I install a lift pump on my LLY. Great instructions and video. Super easy install."

Nic (5/5)

Leaks

"Installed step by step according to directions and wont stop leaking fuel."

Hawk (1/5)

Good, not great.

"Would have been five stars but I had to drill out the spacer to line up with the exiting mounting bolts. Easy fix still a solid upgrade."

Ryan S. (4/5)

Great Purchase

"Recently installed in my 2004 LLY, great upgrade that helps the efficiency of the stock injectors. Easy install and great results."

Q&A

Would I not plug in my water-in-fuel sensor while using this?
correct, the WIF sensor will get disconnected and you can saved or discarded upon installation. Removing the WIF will not trigger a check engine light.
how does it go on?
This simply threads on just like the stock fuel filter. -AW
