Fuel filter change
Fuel filter is nearing 15k miles. Figure it's time to change it out. This wI'll be only my 2nd time changing it. First time was trial and error so to speak. Went to advance, asked for a fuel filter for a 97 f250 7.3. They gave me one. Got it home and it was the wrong one. Took it back and they gave me one with the lid attached to it. So what fuel filter do I need and where do you all get yours from? I'd like to get a motorcraft.

Ford Powerstroke 7.3L Fuel Filter 94-98
Fuel Bowl Cap 7.3L Powerstroke 94-97
OEM doesn't have the cap I guess.
There might be some one that converted to e fuel with a cap laying around

NAPA Gold
I just change mine with a NAPA gold fits perfect , with cap on top of filter.Just unscrew and pull out old filter, remove old gasket too. push down and turn new filter & gasket counterclockwise a little, to prevent cross threading, then turn clockwise to install new filter, simple..

I use the NAPA Gold too. Comes with a lid and new gasket. My NAPA has an AITA program which gives you really good prices on filters. I got a 6637 air filter a month ago for $33 IIRC. The NAPA Gold oil filter for our trucks is $14. AITA is America's Independent Truckers' Assoc. Some NAPA stores out of my state have never heard of it and don't participate but it's free to join and will save you a bucket of cash if you join.
