Anybody get a fuel filter for your SRT yet?

[Viper Wizard]

GENI & GENII fuel filter #4708317 MSRP $37.50
GENIII [SRT's] fuel filter #52290801AB MSRP $120.00

Who in DC parts dept. came up with that price? "What are you, trying to retire early?"

The ONLY differences between the two filters are: GENI&II have the in & out lines at each end. The GENIII filter has both lines at one end.

I guess I'll be looking for an aftermarket filter!

Someone has to pay for the deficit of SMART and MERCEDES now...

Is it made from platinum?

The GOOD news...fuel filter is not something that I plan to change frequently...and at that price, one can ride the flatbed IF it clogs !!!!

Holy Sh_t!

Alternative please.

From my fuel line check valve experience, I know you can purchase the OEM ends and make an extension (so SRTs could use Gen 2 filters). I think they were ~$20? That would be a one-time charge, then use Gen 2 from then on.

Great idea, Tom....had the same thought.

Let us know if you do it.

Anyone have to change their fuel filter yet? Anyone have one clog or notice any fuel (specifically filter) delivery related problems?
