Ram fuel filter

Genos garage is one good online source. I buy mine at Oriellys auto parts sometimes. There easy but messy to change.

You have 2 filters and change them both if at 15kmi on orig filters.
Warning, dealer will charge you about $200 for the filters and probably an hour at least to change them.
Even on a discount the filters cost about $100 for the pair.

Sorry to hear about the other stufff......

Sorry to here about that stuff too.

They're about $80 for the pair on Amazon. Changing the rear one sucks. I've done it twice and came away covered in diesel to some degree both times. The top one is easier but you need a large socket and some extensions and a flex connector to get the cap off. There are lots of how-to's on Youtube.

Sorry about tour situation.

The filter at the tank is easy. The one on the engine is a pain in the but. Tight and awkward space.

Wait till you get home, dont try and do it on the road. A few miles isnt gonna hurt

The MOPAR filters are available on AMAZON for $70 for BOTH combined. They are OE. Buy the Lisle filter wrench for the primary filter to remove the water sensor. Strap wrench will work on the filter it's self. Be sure to drain first. The engine mounted filter is not biggie either. 1 1/8" 6 point 1/2" drive socket with wobbly then about 12" of extension and 1/2" ratchet will bust the cap loose.

You can also use a 28mm 6 point socket as well - which will fit better as it's metric to begin with. As for the rear - in frame filter, I use a 4 liter/1 gallon ice cream bucket setting on top of rear drive shaft and resting against fuel tank, open drain valve, remove electrical plug and then loosen filter and let it drain into the pail. As for driving another 1200 miles, unless you have some real poor quality diesel fuel to begin with, you'll be more then good to wait till you get home.

The filter socket is a must and well worth the price.

DO you have a link for the amazon listing? The set I've bought off Amazon was $95. My local dealer wants $85/each for the filters.!!! :E

This is the one I just bought. $70 + $7 shipping for the set.

bbaker, good luck with your treatment. You are 2000 miles from having to change your filter and 1200 miles from home. I'm sure there is a little wiggle room in there. I changed my filters at 15,700 miles recently. The front filter is still very clean at 700 over. I'm sure you could probably replace the front filter every 30K miles... but its cheap and relatively easy to replace so its not worth the risk. Bottom line, you'll be fine to drive home and change... even if you are slightly over the 15K mile mark.

Again, best of luck, hope you get the treatment you need and a full recovery.
