maybe conspiratorial, but i think they buried it on porpoise, drive more $$$ into dealers pockets...

the duramaxs at work, the fuel filter is in the engine bay, but gotta remove splash shield from wheel well to get at it, so history of chevy burying it.

I think it was more like fuggit, put it wherever it'll fit. Of course the consumer will pay whatever it takes to get to it if it happens to be a PITA.

Everything is about $, if it's about safety, it's just because a lawyer said so

Engineering is smarter then we could hope to be, but are highly restricted by accounting. Many times it levels the playing field...

Manny - I really don't understand why you've offered this as an answer.

You've posted that you relocated your fuel filter and described it as an advantage on this thread which diesel has created to inform others how to change their factory fuel filter.

But you've not answered any questions regarding your considerations for doing so nor even posted an image of your innovation when requested to do so.

Your response is to direct a brother member to address their request to a Gearhead when you know very well that you're likely the only person in the world who has relocated a fuel filter on a RPO LUZ engine and therefore the only one who can respond.

If you truly believe that you've struck upon a superior engineering / safety / cost / convenience innovation that the manufacturer missed than please share your findings with the community, whom you are a part of, by way of a dedicated thread.

In my view, proceeding as you've done here serves to take the focus off of diesel's substantial contribution; which may not have been your intent, but is effectively a disservice to diesel and what he has done for all of us.

Make up your mind gotdiesel, are you in or out?

thank you. I was just looking at the filter element and not the whole kit which is more expensive. if you dont mind me asking what all comes in the kit. everyone thinks im crazy for my 200 mile round trip commute to work but i love living out in the country and really dont mind the drive at all. matter of fact i look forward to going to work just to drive then getting off work just to drive. I even keep a full size spare in my trunk just in case i get a flat which has already happened twice so far.

The fuel filter and replacement gaskets are in it. That's the "kit".

Got my first one for $84. Pretty deceptively elaborate filter and worth the money. There's a thread on here somewhere about it. I think you can get them for high $70s but I wanted to shop my local dealer and paid a couple bucks more to give them the business. List is like $120

Ditto on 84
