Fuel filter recommendations?

Running the stock filters for now, but about to change them out. So go with stock again or something else?

No problems at all with my truck, run TXLED most often with a blend of bio and use Diesel Kleen every tank.

if you want to do your own maintenance and keep your warranty, only use ford filters!

You can use whatever filters you want that are manufactured to specifications.

But i have found the Motorcraft filters are cheaper or only a few pennies more then the non Motorcraft parts.

So I have sticking with the Motorcraft part numbers. Just did a $400 order for filters and additives from DieselFiltersOnline.com

I would stick with stock Ford filters for the fuel. Most dealers will discount them, you can sometimes find them on eBay at a significant discount, DieselFiltersOnline has very good pricing too.
