LML WIF sensor fix
Zach (Kentucky) | August 22nd, 2025
Got rid of the wif sensor and upgraded filter. Can’t go wrong. Just be careful when installing the adapter, needs significant pressure to stay level while threading it on.

XDP Caterpillar Fuel Filter Conversion Kit
John (Kentucky) | April 16th, 2025
Finally installed this kit. Very easy to do. No printed directions, I found a XDP video online to help answer a question about the o-rings. It was very informative. I did a full Caterpillar filter conversion on my truck. I also installed the PPE Allison Deep Transmission Pan. The pan allows for an extra 4 quarts of fluid. My transmission has been about 15-20 degrees cooler so far. That's just some normal driving. I can't believe I waited so long to do this!

Cat fuel filter adapter
Jake (Idaho) | April 8th, 2024
Super easy installation, definitely worth having if you have a CP4 pump. Noticed a big difference in fuel quality getting to the injectors.

Great Quality
Jesse (New York) | March 14th, 2024
Even holding the parts and bolts in your hand, it feels good quality. Install was easy, on LLY a 12 and 13mm wrench will be required. It makes it easier if you disconnect one single part of the intake and flop it up for more room if you dont have a ratcheting wrench. They give you hardware for new and old gen dmax too! Shipped 2hrs after order and arrived 2 days later. I’ve ordered from XDP before and they’ve always been good about that. Also, the WIF sensor can be unplugged and zip tied to harness, it will not turn CEL on or the “Water in fuel” light on dash. Stoked

Frequently Asked Questions
What about the water in filter (WIF) sensor that goes on the bottom of the factory filter?
The Water in Filter (WIF) sensor at the bottom of your factory filter is disconnected. This sensor can be saved or discarded as it will not be re-installed. (Removal of the WIF sensor will not trigger a check engine light.)
Many will argue that the stock Duramax water separator is marginal. In our opinion, you’re better off running a quality fuel additive that totally disperses water like XDP’s Diesel Power Plus additive. This concentrated formula offers a combination of ingredients that not only improves lubricity, fuel economy, and overall performance, but also offers a number of preventative properties to help keep your diesel engine at its optimal performance. The fuel treatment comes in a 16-ounce bottles that treats up to 500 gallons of fuel. Item #XDDPP116

How offten would this fuel filter need changing? I also did not see if the fuel filter has a water relief valve.
Suggested Filter Service Intervals:
Used as the primary fuel filter – 10,000 Mile Intervals
Used as the secondary filter along with an aftermarket fuel filtration systems (Airdog, FASS, Fuelab, Etc.) – 50,000 Mile Intervals
(The CAT Filter does not offer a water relief valve. We recomend running a quality fuel additive that totally disperses water like XDP’s Diesel Power Plus additive.

Is the CAT filter more prone to clogging from fuel gelling?
Diesel fuel can begin to cloud around 32ºF and gelling can begin as high as 10ºF - 15ºF (depending on fuel quality and location). Gelling of diesel fuel can only be avoided by using fuel additives to lower the cloud and gelling point of your fuel. Running untreated diesel, in these weather conditions, can clog filters regardless of the filter micron.
Can this be ran without an aftermarket lift pump?
Absolutely, the XDP Duramax CAT Adapter can be run on vehicle with or without aftermarket fuel systems.
