Just found this today when i got to work:pop2:

Date:05/01/2009Ref. number:Parts / Product / G_0000027949Subject:SPO - Bulletin GMP09-094 - Information On Improved Fuel Filter for 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engine
To: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, HUMMER and Pontiac (including MD)

DESCRIPTION:
An improved fuel filter (12633243/TP3012) is now released that will service all 2001-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C/K models and 2003-2009 Chevrolet and GMC C4500/5500 series vehicles with the 6.6 Duramax Diesel. The new coalescer filter provides the following benefits / improvements over the existing dual pleat design:
§ Significantly improved water separation with both diesel and biodiesel blended fuels to protect fuel injectors and pumps from corrosion.
§ 1.5 to 2 times the contaminant capacity depending on the type of contaminants in the fuel. (longer life/less prone to plugging problems/better performance at high altitude).
§ Particle removal efficiency that is equivalent to the current Duramax fuel filter.
§ Improved resistance to cold weather plugging with diesel and biodiesal improperly blended or additized for cold operation.
§ Designed for use with all Duramax Diesels 2001-2009.
§ This improved filter is currently used in O.E production.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
May 4, 2009

GENERAL INFORMATION:
§ Please note that 98017645(TP1298B) is a good serviceable filter if you have a reliable fuel source with no prior problems with water conditions.
§ The supplier will ship part number (TP3012)12633243 in boxes labeled (TP3012)98081884. The box will have the correct part number located in the box. This will continue until all current inventory labeled with (TP3012)98081884 are exhausted.
 
Checked the price today, It's the same as the other filter. Dealer msrp $50.47. The new number will superceed the old as soon as all the old stock is exhausted.
 
Once they hit the outside market at a reasonable price I'll certainly give one a try. Not at over $50 a copy though...
