Came into the garage today and seen a leak under the front end, traced it back to the sensor on the back of the fuel filter housing. I pulled the sensor apart and it looks like it has melted on one side (guessing it's from the fuel leaking through the sensor somehow) Dodge wants $1000 for a new housing and sensor as its all one piece. Any other options out there? Does the FASS or Airdog block off the stock housing and replace it with their own unit? If I'm spending $1000 I'd rather go that route then replace the stock unit. All help appreciated.

Could this be covered under the most recent recall that went out this week?

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL P65 / NHTSA 14V-635
This interim notice applies to your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
This interim notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Dear: (Name)
Chrysler has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2010 through 2014 model year RAM trucks and RAM Cab Chassis trucks equipped with a 6.7L Cummins Turbo diesel engine.
The problem is...
The diesel fuel heater electrical connector on your truck may overheat and cause a fuel leak. The diesel fuel heater housing at the fuel heater electrical connector may overheat, leading to the failure of the O-rings that seal the male electrical terminals in the diesel fuel filter/heater assembly. A leaking diesel fuel filter/heater could cause underhood smoke and/or an engine

That sounds like my problem, I haven't seen any recall notice and of course I just went past 160,000 a few weeks ago.

I would think it does not matter what the mileage is. The recall should take care of you, ONCE parts become available.

Recall is a recall, Chevy just recalled vehicles back to the 90s, so age, milage, vehicle condition, don't matter.

Your covered at their expense, that's exactly what the new recall is for

I'm sure it will fall in the recall when it comes, I'm not to worried about that. I'm a contractor so I need my truck for work everyday so if I was under the 160,000 I'd go for warranty. Now I'm stuck deciding to wait for the recall or spend the $ to fix the leak so I can work. Defiantly appreciate the help though guys! I haven't been on here much in quite a few years but figured someone would have the knowledge to help me out.

My recall notice came in the mail yesterday.

I like how they issue the recall and then state they don't have the parts to fix them yet though! Classy move Dodge.

You can pay for it now and get reimbursed, but you will more than likely get an old part that has the same issues. Call them about the recall notice and see if they will replace with an old part, free of charge, and replace again when the new parts come out.

Also, might toss up a Wanted add for the housing. Might find someone that has already changed theirs out for an aftermarket unit that you could get one from.
