Don't let microscopic silt ruin your injectors. Your 6.7L Cummins Diesel uses a sophisticated two-stage filtration system, and the Genuine Mopar 68157291AA (MO-291) is your engine’s final line of defense. This engine-mounted NanoNet® filter is specifically designed to trap particles as small as 2 microns, ensuring only the purest diesel reaches your high-pressure common rail.
🧠 WHY THIS MATTERS
At Valtrix Powertrain, we know that diesel performance is won or lost in the fuel system. The MO-291 isn't just a standard pleated paper filter; it features advanced filtration media designed to handle the high flow rates of the 6.7L Cummins without dropping pressure. Using a non-OEM filter in this location often leads to "Dry Starts" or "Fuel Rail Pressure Low" codes—issues you can completely avoid by sticking with the factory-certified Mopar standard.

❓FAQ
Q: Is this the filter located under the hood or under the truck?
A: This (68157291AA) is the engine-mounted filter located under the hood. You likely also need the 68197867AB frame-mounted filter to complete a full service.
Q: Does it come with the O-ring?
A: Yes, every Genuine Mopar MO-291 kit includes a new sealing O-ring for the filter housing.
Q: Do I need to "prime" the system after installing this?
A: Yes. After installation, turn the ignition to 'RUN' (don't start) for 30 seconds, repeat 3–5 times. This allows the electric lift pump to fill the canister and purge air.
