Description
68157291AA Fuel Filter — Ram 6.7L Cummins (2010-2020)
Your Ram's high-pressure common rail injection system demands clean fuel—period. The iFJF 68157291AA Fuel Filter delivers 3-micron absolute filtration and water separation for the 2010-2020 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 with the legendary 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel.
This is the front chassis-mounted filter located under the driver-side frame rail—the first line of defense against fuel contamination. Replaces Mopar 68157291AA and 68436631AA with equivalent performance at aftermarket pricing.
Key Features
-
3-Micron Absolute Filtration: Removes over 99.9% of particles 3 microns and larger—protecting injectors from abrasive wear
-
Water Separation Technology: Hydrophobic media coalesces and separates water from diesel fuel, preventing injector tip erosion
-
High Dirt-Holding Capacity: Extended pleat pack design means longer service intervals and better value versus budget filters
-
OEM-Equivalent Construction: Nitrile O-ring, heavy-gauge steel end caps, and anti-drainback valve match factory specifications
-
Broad Compatibility: Fits 2010-2020 model years—covering both CP3 and CP4.2 injection pump applications

The Real Cost of Skipping Fuel Filter Changes
The Bosch CP3 (2010-2018) and CP4.2 (2019-2020) injection pumps operate at pressures up to 29,000 PSI with internal clearances measured in microns. A single tank of contaminated fuel can cause cavitation damage leading to pump failure—a repair costing $4,000-$12,000. At under $20, regular filter changes are the cheapest insurance for your truck.
