fuel filter

Im getting my truck ready for winter, I am going to change the fuel filters on it I want to change the factory and I have a aftermarket one that the previous owner mounted on the frame inline under the truck. I hope a sponser can help me with getting one it is a racor r45p, and says on it that it is used with 345,445, & 645 system. Also what is involved with changing the factory one, do I need a special tool? If I could get someone to give me a price on the filters I need and the tool (if there is one) I would appreciate it, thanks Aaron.

I found the filter by googling it.

The stock filters can be found on ebay for very cheap, and most can get them off with a band-filter wrench, and some use a screwdriver and hammer.

Which cheaper filters are you referring too? There is a difference between a good price on a quality filter and a cheapo.

Ya got me. There are a couple different sellers on there selling ones with no brand name. They say they conform to OEM specs. If you want to take a look just do a search for 7.3 fuels filters.
