So the truck died again today, sucking air somewhere. Ran great for over a week then started surging again on me today. I almost think I'm sucking air from my inline filter, it's a Mr.Gasket brand I got from O'Reilly and I suspect it's not the best quality. I'm going to take it off tomorrow and run with out it to see if that's the fix. Anyone one know of some quality Inline filters out there?

holley makes inline filters that are probably "better", but I honestly feel that quality is not found in an inline filter.JMHO

Don't run a inline filter on a diesel. A diesel needs a filter head with a relatively large screw on filter for proper flow

Inline filters are fine, I've been running one on my pickup for 10 years. They're used on all kinds of diesel equipment without issue. Wix, Napa, Baldwin, etc will all do you fine. Snip down the hose ends and install new hose clamps.

Well I took off the filter and coupled the lines and ran fine all day. Must of been leaking somewhere. Going with the more heavy duty fix head filter next.

I do not understand why some install inline filters. I have run my truck for 23 years so far with ONLY the factory spin on filter on the passenger side of the engine. I do change that filter every 15,000 miles.
