Mike,

I have not found the link provided above to be accurate. Your Detroit engine may have several different filter options. Double or single spin-on or double or single cartridge filters. You may or may not have a slobber tank & drain.

Here are the filters I have on the Detroit 6V-92TA installed in my '94 U300 

Engine Oil:
Wix 51970, High efficiency glass media 51970XE, Extended Drain 51970XD
Napa (made by Wix) 1970
AC PF911

Fuel Filter:
The big primary fuel filter (30 micron) is mounted on the chassis, passenger's side. Plastic see-through bottom with water separator & drain sold as kit with filter or separately.

Wix 33442
Napa 3442
Racor S3202 
Racor kit with water separator B32002 
In a pinch, the Racor S3201 (kit B32001) might be used. Used by Cummins as the secondary filter (10 micron).

Secondary fuel filter mounted on driver's side of the engine (10 micron):
Wix 33120
Wix 33815 (glass media version)
Napa 3120

Allison transmission filter:
Wix: 51623
Napa gold 1623

Baldwin, Hastings, Fleetguard filters also very good, check internet for cross reference. I avoid Fram.

I used NAPA as a reference as they are the easiest to find if you need one in a hurry. Most towns have a NAPA store. Truck stops on highway should also have them

Mike,

Be aware that the numbers Pierce posted above are for a VERY different DD engine-- a two stroke 6V92, not your four stroke V8 8.2 liter.

Brett,

Mike had posted the request for a 8.2 Detroit or did I miss something?

Yup, the 8.2 Detroit is a V-8 not real popular engine, was  to be a cheap choice to the better 2 cycle engines.  It never turned out to be a desired engine by most users, some got along with it and some could not. 
Remember "Not everyone is capable of having good luck with a diesel"  for a more clear answer to this, just ask a Ford, Dodge or GM dealer if everyone should have a diesel pickup.
You might be shocked at some of the stupid things some owners do with their bullet proof diesel pickup trucks, you will laugh  :o

Pierce,

Perhaps I misread, but, your post says "Here are the filters I have on the Detroit 6V-92TA installed in my '94 U300".

I suspect his 8.2 4 stroke DD V8 engine and your 2 stroke DD engine  share very few parts in common.  Just completely different motors.

Brett,

Excuse me. My oversight.  I should have looked the 8.2 up. I was not aware of the 4 cycle Detroit Diesel in Foretravels. What are they in?

Thanks,
