I believe transumz9 had the best recommendation. It's cheap and an easy upgrade.
BTW... On the RAM topic I don't believe the filter under the hood has the aqua block media on the filter so I'm not sure how effective this one is.
For some reason, I missed the brass plug recommendation. That is the easy button in this case!
For the Cummins filter, it has the hydrophobic coalescing element, you can see the coalescing element between the 1st set of pleats and the 2nd set of pleats. 1st layer is the 5 micron layer and 2nd layer is the 3 micron layer. It's a pretty good filter overall, so no need to think about doing something like what some guys had done in the past with the CAT 2 micron canister style filters. The new engine filter is backwards compatible with the older style RAMs (2010 - 2012), since those vehicles don't have a separate chassis filter (they only have the cartridge style element on the motor), this fuel filter needs to perform double duty.
Owner's manual also specifies both filters as having water separating media and requiring draining if a WIF light illuminates.
