Before You Begin
This kit permanently replaces the factory plastic fuel filter housing with a CNC-machined billet aluminum assembly. No cutting or fabrication is required — it's a direct bolt-on using the factory mounting points and fuel line connections.
Confirm your truck matches the fitment above before starting, and read through every step once before you begin the install.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Install the SD Housing
Drop the Sinister Diesel billet housing onto the factory mounting location. Reconnect the factory fuel lines to the redesigned quick-connect fittings. No adapters, no cutting — direct fit.
Install Filter & Prime
Install the included Baldwin BF7967 filter, prime the fuel system, and start your truck. Check all fittings for leaks before driving.
Warnings & Important Notes

Troubleshooting
Confirm the quick-connect is fully seated and you hear/feel it click. A light coat of clean diesel on the O-ring can help it seat without forcing it.
This is almost always an unprimed fuel system. Re-check Step 3 and make sure the system is fully primed with no air in the lines before cranking again.
Double check the grooved O-ring is seated evenly in its channel before final tightening. An uneven or pinched O-ring is the most common cause of seepage.
