    Yes i checked them. Its the same exact one they took off the truck . luberfiner. I usually run fleetguard on my engine because thats what cummins recommends.... Gonna have the peterbilt tech hookup to the computer and see what code its throwing. My guess is something related to the fuel delivery

    Dude put a Fleetguard on there and I'll bet it works as advertised.

    Thats what i told the guy and they think im stupid just because the part numbers cross check good with the fleetguard... The parts guy at pete says that even know the parts number cross check , it still could be the luberfiner filter doesnt work well with the engine ... It just seems so ridiculous that loves has basically told me to go f myself after they were the ones that screwed everything up and didnt do anything to fix it. Just waste my time and give me back a broken truck

    The OM is giving 3 to 1 odds it's that filter.

    I gave that guy that bought Casper the extra fuel filters, an extra fuel water separator, and that good snap on wrench that I always carried.

    Yep. The tech hooked up to the computer and were getting fuel pump restriction codes and fuel metering pressure codes. Says even tho the numbers may cross check if its a different micron level it will restrict fuel flow , which to me is what it seems like its doing.

    Well we got the codes clear and all the air pumped out of the fuel system and And there was ALOT. Like more then ever should be there after a simple pm...the filter ended up being ok .. Took it for a test drive and its running good like normal. Peterbilt said have a nice night . didnt charge me a dime. Great guys over there.

    Just for future reference if you guys ever run into this problem on a cm2350 isx... there is two compucheck valves on the fuel filter. The one that is circled is the one the pete tech used to vacuum all the air out of the system. The one on the left that is black colored he said is used to check for air in the system.

    So they didn’t prime the filters I guess…?
