I've checked around different parts houses and found I could go back to the dealer and buy both filters cheaper , a German made filter of some sort so should be pretty decent . By the way ford could've designed the fuel water separator a little different, a little difficult to change.

I ordered 3 oil filters & a set of fuel filters from "Filter1". The fuel filters were 39.00, & I think the 3 oil were 33.00 or so. They came very quickly. They are Wix filters or in a Wix box. The oil filter is the exact same as the Motorcraft. They want you to register to get fleet prices. If you order more than 1 you should be ok. I have 3 vehicles to buy for, 1 for work & two for wife & kid.

I also ordered fuel filters from oil guard. Waited Thursday to Monday and cancelled due to being on back order. Filter1 shipped the day after I ordered (1/18). Should arrive in UT from NY on 1/25. I was able to order 3 oil, 2 fuel, 1 air, and 5 expedition oil filters for $48 more then 3 pack of fuel filters from oil guard. Because this will last both my vehicles for a year. Free shipping.

back order
oilguard didn't inform me about back order, until I email them to find out what was going on with my order
, and I was told it would be shipped on 1-7-05. The day that I placed the order, they sent me an auto reply "thanks for your order", it would be nice that if it's not in stock that they let you know instead of thanks for your order reply, so i can make the decision to wait or go somewhere else.

I just had dealer install new fuel filters yesterday at a cost of around $94.00 plus labor!
Is this normal for dealer charge and how often should they be changed - I believe there are two fuel filters on 6.0L. Is this a do it yourself thing or not - help me out.

Yes it is absolutely a do it your self thing for those so inclined.
Check the tech folder sticky at the top of the forum page for a link to instructions on the change process.
It's also a good idea to review all the stickies from time to time.

We now have an large supply of fuel filters in inventory for the 6.0L Ford. Orders can ship the same day as recieved. Racor was delayed in shipping and had us and others on backorder for several weeks. Prices are still the same at $37 each in 3-packs and $40 for a single.
Thank You,
