PFF4604: is this the correct part number for the fuel filters. it is on the dieselfiltersonline page. they have it listed as fuel filter/water separator. is this correct. seems like a decent price, 39.00

 

All these below are the proper fuel filter:

I have personally not verified that the filters highlighted in yellow are OEM style or not. I have read that they are.

 

I get the OEM filters from IH for around twenty something. I'll post the part number tomorrow if you need it. You can probably find it if you do a search.

 

wow, I went to my local ford service yesterday to get a price, 71$ for the filter kit? It came with both the water seporator, and the filter on top of the engine. Then I went to a little parts place and they wanted 80$ for the same kit!
Question; do I have to buy the kit at that price, or can I just get the filter thats on top of the block? I do have 80k on the truck, not sure if preveous owner had them changed or not.

 

$71 from the dealer is not bad, I have seen it higher than that. Still it is way over priced.

The best option is to buy them from a International dealer, if you have one close. Part number is 1847170C93. It is a kit with both filters (Yes, both filters should be replaced at the same time) for about $35.00.

Next best place to get them is online. Best I have seen lately is $34.95 plus shipping. Click the link below...

Another option is Santex International. They will ship them if you call and order. The number is 888-898-0972. Last I heard they were $30.69 plus shipping. Part number 1847170C93.

 

thanks Powerstroke, thats a money saver!

 

thanks for the help.

 

i buy mine (motorcraft oem) on ebay, brand new. Most i have paid with shipping is 40 bucks. good luck...

 

Go to International Truck Dealer. Around 30 bucks for the OEM filters.

 

I buy mine at International for about $35. You do need to change both filters together so you will have proper protection and pressure to your engine.

 

you can also pick up the motorcraft kit at your autozone or advance auto parts store as well as the oil filter and the motorcraft diesel oil if you like

 

got two from dieselfiltersonline. came to 88 and change shipped to my door. seems pretty fair to me.
