Absolute ripoff. That is the old assembly, and he is trying to sell it for $20 more than a new model!

If I had my guess, he pulled the whole assembly off during his last fuel filter change and is trying to make back the cost of the new unit. :2cents: says that filter is used and/or plugged. :ROTFL:

FWIW, I informed the seller that this item was a ripoff at $100 (in nicer language, of course 8) ). He sent me a nice reply, dropping the price online to $50.

Still not sure why anyone would want the original Mopar filter head, but to each his own I guess.

Any number of veg-oil hackers eager to experiment with heated water separating filters. But when they find out how much replacement elements cost, it will get tossed into the bin quickly enough.

I thought it looked like the old heater plug? I bought one of the new units for about $100 for my LTD.
