Fuel filter cost
Just wanted to post that I had originally bought a fuel filter from NAPA, was their "gold" edition and cost me $32! I thought that was a little high so I stopped by the local International dealer, only cost me $19. I returned the Napa one! They offered two sizes, my engine used the taller one (about 4"tall), the other was considerably shorter.
Just FYI,
Ed

Try Shopdiesel.com the Racor fuel filters are $15.80 and the Motorcraft oil filters are $11.00. There shipping isn't too bad either. I usually order a few of each at a time, keeps me stocked up and makes it real convenient.

I change my fuel filter every 3-4k They are too easy to not change. I also run a seperat fuel strainer and water seperator. but that 's me coming up fron the marine engine side you can never have to many filters/seperators

Since changing the fuel filter has such a profound effect of the performance of the engine, I typically change mine every 6000 miles, or just prior to getting on a dyno, whichever happens first.
