68197867AA Fuel Filter Base Conversion Adapter — Ram 6.7L Cummins (2013-2018)
Tired of wrestling with the factory cartridge-style fuel filter on your 2013-2018 Ram 6.7L Cummins? The iFJF 68197867AA Fuel Filter Base Conversion Adapter lets you permanently switch to the vastly superior 1R-0750 spin-on filter—a popular upgrade in the Cummins community for better filtration, easier changes, and lower long-term costs.
CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, this adapter threads into your existing filter base and accepts the Caterpillar 1R-0750 or equivalent spin-on fuel filter—renowned for 2-micron absolute filtration and massive dirt-holding capacity.
