Why are you asking stupid questions? If you have not replaced the fuel filter at 140K you most likely have a fuel pump that is stressed out. Have the fuel pressure and volume checked by a PRO.
Will be in the fuel line from tank along the frame, will need spring lock release tools or just need to pinch the plastic tabs and pull line off of the filter nipple and make sure the sealing o-rings in the lines are in good shape, I like WIX filters or get one from dealer.
I will make two recommendations. Go to parts store and they will have price options for you and you can call ahead and get info over phone. While you are there get an inexpensive repair manual that shows step by step instructions for filter replacement, pics also, for many many repairs and maintenances on your vehicle. Money well spent. Usually about $25-$30.
filter is about 29 labor is .9 hours. wix is good, i use puralator. Roy
Well so what Roy. I use WIX because is easier to spell. LOL.... Good Day. I use WIX on all my vehicles and used to use on all my Harleys. Anything but FRAM. **************************************** I agree with EXPERTEC. If the fuel filter has not been changed in too long a time it will overwork the fuel pump trying to push fuel thru a clogged filter. This kind of thing happens when people do not do the maintenance and/or they believe the car seller-dealer or used car lot-that the fuel filter will protect the fuel pump forever. The owners manual has two levels of maintenance needs, always follow the more extreme schedule. Or just do breakdown maintenance as my father used to say-wait for it to quit and then quess at what is really wrong with it. I am so happy that I am not one of so many American drivers out there that just drive around with their heads in the clouds and never take the time to learn/know about what they spend the second most money on next to their house.
well, latyda to you my friend. We stock the puralators and our private brand which is cheap but i would not touch it. Roy
Thank-you all!!! The ride is much better with a new fuel filter.
