Do you ever do any searches? you seem to post a new thread for everything here. Do a search and read before you post.

i used a Napa Gold fuel filter. $13.33 with tax and they make one of the best oil filters money can buy. after swapping my fuel filter, my engine tick nearly went away. Napa Gold WTF!

Yeah, search isn't working at all. I just went to the GM dealer for my fuel filter and they charged $41. If you can do it yourself you will save about $30.

Like they said...for a site with so many "Search Button ****'s", the search function works AWFULLY poorly. At best over the past few months it's been taking 1-2 minutes before it comes back with anything. The past week it constantly comes back "No Results" even on things there's OBVIOUSLY results for. For instance I need some brake caliper decals...even "decals" returns nothing. It sucks that (and you'll notice if you've read any of my posts lately), you really have to put a disclaimer at the top of every freaking post "Sorry guys, go easy on me for this question, I searched but it's still f'ed up". Pretty lame....

Here is a link on how to change it yourself fuel filter change im not a tech, but I changed mine on my own for the first time in like 30 minutes the other day.. i used purolator, so it cost me 7 bucks to do everything. And im pretty sure they all are basically the same.

Oh, and you can pick one up at auto zone, advanced auto parts, etc... just read the box when you go there and see which one you think, but if you have 30-60 minutes yousave like 40 bucks. so its up to you.
