Here is a jpg image of the "for public release" file Racor sent me of the "fuel filter update" explaining the fuel filter change for the 6.0L and 6.4L fuel filters.
It explains the reasons why the new model numbers were issued.
I have an internal contact at Racor that keeps me informed of all issues related to their products, but it took Racor some time to publish their "official response" to the updated design of their fuel filters. Oh wel... better late than never.
By the way, if you change your filters on time and use good quality fuel, you should have no problems with the old designs (as many of use long term users have not anyways). If you have old stock of the old design filter, just use them up and change them on time and buy your fuel (as you should have been doing anyways) from high volume, high quality retailers) and you will be fine.
