How hard (how much money) should it be to change a fuel filter on a 2001 Chevy 3500?

Because apparently ours just went 74,000 miles on a single fuel filter because the shop we were taking it to thought it was too much effort to change it.

 

Might have to remove some stuff to make room, it's maybe a 15 min job. To re-prime, there is a primer button you push down by hand. Keep pushing until you get resistance.

 

its real simple...

takes bout 20 mins to do if you remove the inner fender liner

 

Yep just pop out a couple of the inner fender buttons, stick your hand in and remove the filter.

The place I get mine replaced at takes about 5 minutes to get the old one out and the new one in. I have taken it to places that tried to get it out from under the truck and failed.

 

I can change mine from the top in less than 5min.

 

ya that makes you proud to pay somebody for doing something and find out there not doing it because its to hard

 

I made the mistake once to pay to have it changed. Figured that since it was in the shop I would have them do it. I even supplied the filter. They charged me $80 after I showed them how to prime it. I never went back to that shop..
