!@#$% Plastic Air Bleeder Screw
Anyone have trouble with the stupid, plastic air bleeder on top of the fuel filter? Evidently mine was cracked adn left me stranded today. Had to get a ride to the Chevy dealer and then bend over and pay $20 for a stupid plastic screw that should be made of brass. This is the second one I've replaced in 8 years. Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to loosen and tighten it multiple times, every time you change the fuel filter, but making that thing from plastic is about the STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen!!!!!
Now that my rant is over, does anyone offer a brass or any kind of metal aftermarket replacement for this?

I know the listing expired but email him and he'll hook you up. They're $40 and you'll never have to worry about breaking it again.

My bad I thought you meant the WIF sensor.

Evidently I'm not the only one who's had this problem either.... I called around.... almost every chevy/gmc dealer around keeps 1-5 of these in stock.
Thanks HeavyDuty. I ordered one today!
