Default Replacing Fuel Filter?

Do I have to buy the new filter from ford, or does an auto parts store carry a good one? Also, how much is the tool to remove it?

I take it you didnt install anything in your sig then?

No offense to you, some people choose not to mess with installation, its just thatI have installed everything on my car save for the gears. Installing all of the components makes me feel like all my hard work and money saving has paid off. Its nice to get finished with a job and admire my work.

How much did the filter and tool cost? Where did you purchase these?

i did install my entire stereo, short shifter, light bar, grill delete, and chin spoiler. i just don't really care to mess with stuff that can break down going down the road. i guess you could say i don't feel secure in my mechanical abilities for the rest. i know what you mean about the rewards of doing it yourself, though.

And thats completely okay. Not everyone is confident in their abilities to work on their cars. I fortunately was raised with a father that was always wrenching on cars. We share the same passion for modding and the mustang and thats all that really matters when it comes down to it. [sm=smiley20.gif]
