Should have used Fuel additive
Just picked my truck up from the shop. It was having to spin more and more to start this past year. After that it ran great but the slow starts were starting to worry me. I'd heard that we should us...

Even though no changes were made to the CP3 with the advent of ULSD fuels, Dodge/RAM did change the canister fuel filter (engine mounted) for the 2010+ trucks. The filter used on the 2013+ trucks superceded what was used on the 2010 to 2012 trucks. The filter has 2 elements built into it, outer element should handle down to about 10 microns along with water strainer and the inner element should handle down to 3 microns. Vast improvement over the previous fuel filters. Erosion or contamination at the injector tips were a problem with the older filter setups I believe.
Also wanted to add that Cummins/RAM were very proactive with fighting water contamination, as both filters (chassis and engine) have water separators and drains. Quite a pedantic setup for OEM, especially considering Ford and Chevy don't have this setup.
Ford's been running dual fuel filters since 2003. I've also read that the secondary fuel filter on the 6.7PSD is designed to capture and hold water as well, but doesn't have a drain. The setup on my truck is a breeze to change. The 2017 Fords primary filter is a rectangle setup and is fairly large, but looks like it's a bit more involved to change.
