1999 ram fuel filter
From : mikeinohio
Q: my local auto parts professional at a national chain parts store informed me that the fuel filter on my 1999 ram 1500 5.9 v-8 isnt servicable. im too lazy and its too cold to go out and check this out right now. anyone have any experience with this issue thank you. .

the filter is part of the pump. it actually has two filters and they are both in the tank. the pre-filter is attached to the bottom of the pump and is replaceable but the fuel pump would need to be removed to do it. the main filter is part of the pump itself and is usually not replaceable there are a few pump models where it is but i doubt that anyone would carry that filter. is there a reason that you want to replace it or are you just doing general maintenance according to dodge the filters are designed to last the life of the pump and dont need to be replaced. it looks like the pre-filter filters the large junk that would damage the pump and the main filter blocks particles large enough to plug the injectors and everything else smaller just passes through the system. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my local auto parts professional at a national chain parts store informed me that the fuel filter on my 1999 ram 1500 5.9 v-8 isnt servicable. im too lazy and its too cold to go out and check this out right now. anyone have any experience with this issue thank you. .

unfortunately the life of the pump does not always coincide with the life of the truck. my 97s fuel pump went after 5 years and about 75000 miles. just wanted to do some preventative maintainence never heard of such a thing.oh well one less thing to do. thanks for the reply. .

the filter is in the tank and unless yours is clogged what are you complaining about -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving yeah and i cant seem to find a fuel filter on my 99! wtf does dodge do this shit to cut a 4.00 cost thats funny so did mine .
