Today, a service manager of a large dealersip in the San Antonio area told me lack of lubrication in the fuel was one of the biggest casues of pump failure, and he really likes that I was running secondary fuel filtration. It's about time............... Edited by: afp1

Just cut it open and drain out to show hime what IT caught and the OE missed...

Don't get too excited. This same guy told me if I put a lift on the truck GM will void all of the warranty. He said his dealership would be willing to work on stuff under warranty that is not affected by the modification, but his initial asnwer to me has me leery...........

i've noticed a lot of posters have added an additional fuel filter...however, it appears to me that they're usually added pre-oem...am i correct, or shud they be added post-oem?...i've not added one yet, but am leaning towards a cat/nicktane set up...any advice?

That's a question you'll probably have to answer yourself.


There are a lot of people who have installed secondary filters in both locations. There is a lot of information on this site about filters, and whether or not pre or post OEM is the way to go.


I suggest you watch this thread for answers, do a few searches on the site about it, and then you'll have a lot of additional information about which option would work best for you.


What ever you decide, I think a secondary filtration system is a really good idea, but that is based on all the information I've found on this site and posted by other members who have dealt with this quite extensively.

Mine is pre-oem, and I have not had any air issues.....

Pony, I can tell you that Nick's kit in the pre OEM isn't difficult at all to install or maintain.

Pre-OEM sounds like the warranty-safest route to go, the only problem being that it won't do anything to stop the rust that originates from the OEM fuel filter.


I'm waiting for an adapter plate for the OEM filter so I can use an aftermarket one in place of it.

I'm waiting for my nicktane kit, pre OEM, Where I live a heater is not needed in the pre filter. If I was in a colder climate I would probably go for the racor setup.
