jonsstockrocket 11-13-2006, 09:45 PM prepare fo a nice fuel filter and at a hefty price

at our cost/wholesale, thats crazy
Show Off 11-14-2006, 08:27 AM they are special. not like conventonal. they have what looks like a return from the engine feeding back threw the filter
jonsstockrocket 11-14-2006, 10:28 AM at 40,000 miles it was clogged up causing cel to come on
as a lean code
JohnsRallyYellowSS 11-14-2006, 10:30 AM probably something similar to what ford used in the mid eighties, a canister type filter.
deuses300c 11-15-2006, 03:20 PM Damn, had mine replaced today too. Running 32k when the lean code came on.
jonsstockrocket 11-15-2006, 09:43 PM sucks doesnt it
how much?
not wholesale
jonsstockrocket 11-15-2006, 09:46 PM sucks doesnt it
how much?
not wholesale
deuses300c 11-16-2006, 02:03 AM $80 with install fee. I blame living in the middle of Idaho for the high ass prices.
jonsstockrocket 11-16-2006, 10:43 PM what was the labor fee
Show Off 11-17-2006, 08:53 AM i ckd the filter was like 36.00 usd. he got raped on labor.
deuses300c 11-17-2006, 04:29 PM Yea, it was some 30 per half hour... Like i said, i have the local dealers and the main guys who are 150 miles away. Service in Idaho sucks.
jonsstockrocket 11-19-2006, 11:23 AM remember dealer service is not the best there is
smaller shops can install small stuff too
sometimes the dealer is a stay away from business unless it is warranty or unless you have a deal with them in service
deuses300c 11-20-2006, 01:01 PM true true. i asked around and did some research. i returned the filter and bought one myself from another dealer (50 bucks). then i just took it home and replaced it myself. took maybe 20mins. reset the code and it hasnt shown up, already added 200 miles.
jonsstockrocket 11-20-2006, 09:16 PM same with mine
no code yet
enjoy the new design especially the 3 quick connects
deuses300c 11-21-2006, 04:59 PM best part was having what was left in filter and the 2 lines spill on me.. good times.
jonsstockrocket 11-21-2006, 09:41 PM did you dump it out the filter to see if it was clogged up
deuses300c 11-29-2006, 03:23 PM Filter wasnt clogged, but was on the verge.
jonsstockrocket 11-29-2006, 09:02 PM mine was clogged considering it had 10k more miles than yours
Parts dept. at the local dealer here wants $59 + tax just for the fuel filter.
domin8_gt 03-29-2007, 12:21 AM Read again. He said he was in Idaho. Shipping is going to cost if you can't trade enough potatoes.
can anyone tell me where the fuel filter is located at? i just went down and bought one got mine for 19.00 after taxes.. but i cant find the damn thing.. i have a 2007 cobalt ss/sc. any help would be greatly appreciated
moranjames89 06-09-2010, 04:47 PM did you check the hole on your underside?
jtokosh19 06-16-2010, 01:35 PM guys your prices are crazy!!!
i got the filter for $16.00 and my mechanic put it on for $5.00
