Fuel filter?

I know this has been talked about many times before, but I can't find the thread.....where's a good place to buy a fuel filter? I'm doing my first oil change, since I bought the truck, and thought I'd change the fuel filter while I was at it. Can you pick one up at Wally-world? Is there a site with good instructions?

Wally World may have one. You could go to Napa too. If you don't need it right away and can afford to wait for it to be shipped, order from http://www.fleetfilter.com/

I haven't seen any fuel filters for PSD at walmart.
I have bought them at Farm and Fleet and Home Farm and Garden here in central
Illinois. What are the opinons of the group on Fram fuel filters?

Thumbs down on Fram from what i have read.. I am using FleetGuard..afew more bucks but i think they are a better filter.. Good insurance for our pricey engine...

edit.. opps.. you are talking fuel filters... sorry, i talking oil filters .. No opinion on Fram fuel filters..

Racor is OEM, and is one of only a couple of filters that supposedly does the proper job of separating water from the fuel. I'm sticking with Racor.
