I could have sworn that fuel filters were not that expensive last time I changed mine (about a year ago. Had GM change mine last summer for free). I went to get one at O'Reily and they were $40+. I could have sworn I paid $25 last time. I know someone had a post about a year ago that said where the best price for one is. Anyone know a website where they are cheaper?

Fleet filter is a sponsor vendor and offers good prices:

Remember that the fuel filter has gone through two revisions and the latest "third generation" filter has dual layer filter media in a larger can and therefore is more expensive.

Is it still the same story...Racor makes all the filters no matter what it says on the box?

:exactly: but buy in bulk it's cheaper in shipping

Unless Racor is making filters in China for Baldwin and plating them with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, I have to disagree.

The best deal I found is B-line filter. I bought a case of PFF5544 for my 05 @ $12.50 each. For some reason I couldnt get them on-line. I called there 800 number and highly recommend them. I plan on buying all mine through them.
