You could probably just call the parts department at your dealership and ask if the part # for the Mopar filter is the same as the previous year. If it is, then your set ! I'm guessing it probably will be...my father's '97 5.2 uses the same filter as my '05 Hemi, as TDMopar says, seems like they've been using the same one for a long time..

Auto parts store should also be able to tell you, there software updates are pretty quick (it has to be, it's their business) but if the dealer tells you it's the same part #, stay with the wix, great filters, it's all I ever use...

My '08 1500 is different then '07. They went to a metric thread. The cross reference to fram is PH2. That might help you find a cross reference to other brands.

I called Wix and they told me the filter will not be released for 6 to 9 months.

So where does one purchase a Wixx filter? I know they don't carry them at Wally World.
