BUDH 01-07-2008, 05:12 PM Since when did AFE get into the fuel filter bussiness? jay1974 01-07-2008, 05:49 PM not sure but they have oil filters and trans filters too. $18 for a oil filter and $35 for a fuel filter... Tom S. 01-07-2008, 06:11 PM It helps tremendously if you fill out your signature so we know what kind of truck you are talking about. If you talking about a relatively late model GM vehicle, make sure you are using the newer filter design that filters down to 2 microns. If you buy aftermarket filters, make sure they meet this criteria. ski 01-07-2008, 06:18 PM I just put a Wix heavy duty fuel filter on this morning. It cost me $42.00 from the local independent parts guy. SPICER 01-07-2008, 07:57 PM Please update me....It sounds like the late model trucks have a newer, improved, better micron rated fuel filter? If so, are they compatible with earlier models? 2 micron sounds good. What were the original filters rated at? Absolute or nominal?

SPICER In 06, GM (or their supplier) changed the fuel filter from 5 to 2 microns, if I read right. The outside of the filter didn't change, and I'm not sure if the part number did or not. Just be aware that if you're buying someone's old stock, you might not be getting the new design. The new design works on earlier models, but I'm not sure how far back.

Are all manufacturers of the dual pleat filters going to be 2 micron? Thanks. SPICER Tom S. 01-09-2008, 10:57 AM Good question - I think so but don't know for a fact. | ||
