Great quality parts

I received the part(s) as ordered within the estimated delivery date despite it being on backorder. The fuel filter was professional engineered and fabricated. I have yet to install it but looking forward to getting this installed so I can drive my truck worry free.

Great company to work with and order…

Great company to work with and order from. Part of my order was on back order they let me know promptly and gave me a date that it would ship. Items did indeed ship on the date given and arrived promptly!

Too expensive for what it is

Too expensive for what it is. I ordered a different brand that's polished aluminum for less than half the price and same quality

Still waiting on refund

Fast shipping. However, my truck took a crap before it arrived so I never took it out of the box and shipped it back immediately. That was 2 weeks ago and still haven't received the refund. Emailed them to ask them to please initiate a refund but nothing. Would appreciate it if you all could do that ASAP.

Hi Katie, I forwarded this to our customer service on the day you posted this, and she let me know that your refund was scheduled for that day and she had touched base with you. Let us know if we can help you with anything else moving forward.

Good coolant filter kit

Good coolant filter kit. Instructions could be better so you don't have too make phone calls and wait for a response for clarification. Web site should also state that it might or might not work with aftermalet air filter kits. I have a S&B filter kit and I had to force the air box back in place because it was hitting against the bracket.
Update; I changed my review from 4 to 5 due to Sinisters communication.

Thank you for the honest and detailed feedback — we appreciate you taking the time to point this out. While we’re glad the coolant filter kit itself performed well, we understand the frustration around unclear instructions and unexpected fitment issues.

Your notes about clearer installation guidance and compatibility with aftermarket intakes like the S&B kit are helpful, and we’ll be reviewing both our instructions and website details as a result. Feedback like this helps us improve the experience for future customers.

We appreciate you bringing it to our attention, and if there’s anything else we can help with, our team is always here.

Quick shipping no BS, solid product.

Quick shipping no BS. I grabbed a "blemished" intake & saved some bucks. Honestly it didn't look bad whatsoever & I was glad I could save some money. I installed it with my kid on Christmas and holy smokes my diesel whistle is proper now. Sounds freaking amazing! I'm looking forward to putting on the steering box brace I got too. Waiting on my socket & will be putting it on shortly.

That’s awesome to hear — thanks for sharing the experience. We’re glad the blemished intake delivered the value you were hoping for and that it still looked good once you had it in hand. Installing it with your kid on Christmas makes it even better, and it’s great to hear that whistle came alive the way it should.

Sounds like you’ve got some fun upgrades lined up next with the steering box brace. We appreciate you choosing Sinister Diesel and are here if you need anything along the way.

Out of Stock

Before ordering I called multiple shops for labor quote. Informed them of expected install week 12/15. I ordered on 12/2 and have not recieved the product yet...12/23. A couple of days after ordering I was informed to delivery location was not valid. Worked with agent to change to home address vs selected mechanic. At this point the product was out of stock and became a backorder. Also earlier this year I ordered a FICM, not showing on me history of purchases can this be fixed. Product sent to same home address....Jackson Ms 39213.

2026/01/08 - Thanks for the followup. The product is exactly what I wanted...hope to have it installed by the end of the month.

Great product

Great product. Only issue I had was the mounting bracket had to be modified some for the banks grid heater delete. Have to cut about 1/2” off of the back side by the intake if you have the banks intake and heater delete.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the product overall, and thanks for pointing out the fitment note with the Banks intake and grid heater delete. That kind of real-world install insight is helpful not only for us, but for other customers as well.

We are talking with the team about a modification to this part soon. If you ever have questions during an install or need help on a future upgrade, don’t hesitate to reach out.

2014 Cummins 6.7 heater core plugged up.

The quality and detail of the coolant filter kit was excellent. I would recommend this kit to address debris removal that clogs the heater core causing no heat on the drivers side. Flushing the system with a quality cleaner and coolant replacement at the time of the filter kit install speeds up the coolant clean up and corrected my poor or no heat issue.

We’re glad the kit helped restore your heating performance, and we appreciate your recommendation. If you ever need anything else, our team is always here to help.

Never told me my order was on backorder

The website never told me that the part was on backorder, nor did I receive any email stating that. It took two weeks before I reached out, wondering where my part was, and that is when I found out it was on backorder. Finally, I received an email a week later saying that the order would be delayed another week. I would have liked to know that my order was on backorder to begin with.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. At Sinister Diesel, we pride ourselves on delivering a 5-star customer experience, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

I’m sorry that the backorder notification didn’t reach you and that the website didn’t clearly communicate the delay at the time of purchase. That’s not the level of clarity or service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it is to wait on a part without being informed up front.

Thank you again for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to improve.

Hi Eric! I sent this on to our customer service dept to see what happened here, but we were unable to find an order with your name. Was it perhaps ordered under a different name?
