Hey guys, are these filters worth using on my truck? Thanks!

PTC parts are sold by Schucks Auto which PartsAmerica.. the filters are probably made in china.. but what isn't these days.. I get my racor (same as motorcraft) fuel filters from our sponsor Geno's garage for $16.95.. If you were changing them every few months, I would consider the ebay ones. But, every 15K, i think i would go with motorcraft, wix or racor..

Here's a great and very popular source for filters:

www.fleetfilter.com

Those ones on ebay look like the right kind, but I'd just go with fleet filter myself... they have good prices, especially if you buy in bulk to save on shipping.

If I remember correctly, Geno's has a better price than Fleetfilter... at least they did when I got my last several filters.

I also need some help, the G/F got the oil changed in my truck for a suprise and they also changed out the fuel filter. they used one of those intergraded filter lid ones and it leaks fuel. And by the way i rechanged my oil, i use 10w-40 mobil delvac. Not their cheap a$$ 15w-40 valuegaurd oil. I need to find a seperate lid, I have 4 racor filters on the shelf.

What is the world coming to? We can now get a CPS cheaper than a fuel filter? Geno's is the best price I've seen on filters.

For this, she must be punished. That kind of thing is strictly off limits. A total no-go. You don't go messing with a man's truck.
