Just changed my fuel filters today. And is everyone paying 75 bucks a set or is it just me? Cuz i went to 2 autozones they wanted 85 and ford wanted 75?

Cheapeast place I found was the International dealer. Still not cheap, think I paid about $42.

see last time i changed them they were around forty. but i think 75 is outragous for those filters my opinion though. i mean we pay enough for the fuel so why we got to for thr filter.

I use a socket and rachet to remove mine but it is so snug that I think I am going to break housing off the frame. This is normal?

There a guy on ebay that sells the set for like 30 bucks shipped. ITs called liek Discount Quality Filters.

I paid 45 at advance auto parts, I used the ford motorcraft b/c ford gave me a line of crap saying they wouldnt cover the injectors if I didnt use ford filters

Changed mine recently forthe first time since buying the truck...like to have NEVER got it off....then discovered it had been cross-threaded by the previous owner!!! THEN...almost never got it back on! I am gonna try a belt or chain wrench next time and then am gonna put a billet cap on. It is less expensive than the Ford original replacement plastic cap.
