 Subject: Replacing my Fuel filter
IP: Logged
Message:
I need to replace my fuel filter for my 2001 Dakota. I went to Autozone and Napa and they both dont sell the filter. I believe NAPA said the last year they sold the filter was for 93. On my old Chevy Lumina the filter was underneath the middle of the car. Is the filter in the gas tank or is it external? Why I need to change my filter is for this reason. 1) I used to run 87 octane gas in my truck. Everything ran fine. THen I started using 91 Octane to prepare my truck for the Jet chip I purchased. Well, after a couple tanks of premium for some stupid reason I went back down to 87. Boy did that mess things up. My engine started knocking and acting really funny. Now the only way to keep it running after I start it in the moring is to give it a little gas and put it into drive. Afte that it runs fine all day. A couple of people told me that my fuel filter needed replacing. Also is this serviceable at the dealership? Im still under warrenty, but im sure they hate me for going there so much. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks

well the filter is in the tank and switching different grades of gas shouldnt mess up your filter. You might have just got bad gas somewhere. The filter and pump are an assembly so the best way to keep prices small is just to take it in underwarranty. I have replace a few pumps and it is much easier to have someone else do it ;-)

On the 4.7 is the fuel filter in the tank? And if so how would you change it? Or how often would it have to be changed? That doesn't sound right that they would put the filter in the tank. Anyone??

The filter and the pump are in there and you have to have the tank dropped to changed it I would think? I bet that cost a pretty penny but I dunnno? but on my R/T that is how it is .. 5.9 but still I think the same..

Troy,
Are you getting a 'jet' chip for a 4.7?
