    can't help , mine is on a volvo , but i can tell you you will like that filter. clear bowl, telling you when to change instead of waiting for the truck to start shaking, good idea in my book.

    I have one. but mine is mounted in the back dr side just opposite of muffler location. tho I have a intl coe. I will say if you have not already purchased the davco, they have the best deals on e-bay. unless you can find someone who has one local. get the one with the preheater. mine has it. when ever the ignition key is in the on position the fuel is heated before it goes to the head. as long as they key is on the fuel heater stays on. the davco sight claims that the key turned on (without starting) in 12 min it will raise fuel temp from 12 to over 30 degrees.

    I think the 5" muffler clamps fit perfectly around the base, so maybe you need to find a place that you can line up the threaded ends of the clamp & drill holes to mount & rerout hoses to it. mine has 2 5" clamps holding it in place mounted to a bracket, that is bolted to support rail exclusively on intl coe's.
