pdp filter head

[Austin86250]

i have a 6.9 and i wanted to swap to a 7.3 filter head so i can have the fuel water separator in the filter and just avoid the stock one on the firewall when i stubbled across this https://puredieselpower.com/ford/6.....3l-ford-idi-diesel-pdp-fuel-filter-head.html
this looks like it gets the best out of both 6.9 and 7.3 filter heads
i am wondering if anybody has bought this yet?

Now, I don't have one, but the only problem that I could point at is the price. I mean, come on, it's just a chunk of aluminum!

That’s true but it looks sharp and appears to be the best solution for a filter head yet

It's a chunk of calibrated aluminum

I thought I had seen cheaper versions on ebay

It would cost me a few hundred dollars in labor to make one of those at the fabrication and machine shop I work at, plus have you seen aluminum prices these days? It’s almost at cost for aluminum! I’d say it’s a great price from my perspective of making things everyday.

Well you can buy a big$$$$ one or make one or..... maybe shop for one at Mid-Nite Auto Supply......or you can pay $20-$22-$24 for one like I got & mounted (& it's made out'a aluminum too)
I got tired of the hi $$$$ for the factory FFilters so I discarded my factory filter set-up & run this with a FS1000 filter-fuel/separator. I had to mt it higher up for the FS1000, but can run about 75 different filters from a FF105 to a FS 1000, FS1212, FS1214, etc, etc.....always carry filter with me but can ALWAYS FIND & BUY A FILTER ANYWHERE to fit this filterhead!!!
I also have my filter lite sensor & the Schrader valve still there also.

Just a thought....

NOW THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!! That's the price I'm looking for. It's calibrated, it's aluminum, it's functional, aannnnnd..,..it's within my price range! Please understand, I'm not cheap, it's just so hard to come by money that I have a hard time just getting rid of it.

Here is the filter you should be using, it is absolute 2 micron. This is a big filter, not a water trap, one can be installed up stream where the original water trap was from the factory.

The guys on one of the Mercedes Forums came up with this one probably 10 years back.

I have one of those mounted down on my frame right after the tank selector valve, along with my FS at the engine, works great.

Jesus Freak you are a natural born sales person! That is the best put way of describing why one is not actually cheap I have ever heard.

Financially, I actually live below the "poverty line". I grow most all of my family's food (meat and veggies), I've figured out how to drive a cool old truck with minimal financial input(WMO). Some people spend all their time trying to get $$$, but not me. I read the book of Ecclesiastes (it's in the bible), and I figured out what's more important. Fear God, and keep his commandments.

And HEY! I really take that as a compliment, thanks Big Bart!

Know it was a compliment. I do understand your priorities and your situation, no judgment here.

where do they mount? I don't see any provisions on it for those

the pdp filter head is basically a 6.9 filter head with 7.3 filter threads so its set up like a 6.9 so you have to get a 6.9 return kit
