    what do you mean the vette filter doesn't work?

    Looks like the FPR. Had one on my '99 sierra. Has a little mesh disc inside that can be replaced for about $7.

    In some cases the vette filter works in other cases it doesn't

    You need to buy the gm filter. Spending 20 dollars on the cheap one doesn't work right
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    The only reason it wouldnt work is if you hook it up wrong. I have never seen one not work properly. I like the wix 33737.

    Midwest's truck defies all physics as well as all natural laws.

    We use the vette filter on the majority of the swaps we do, just make sure you get the wix filter and not the house brand Oreillys filter. Wix brand actually regulates it at a steady psi. The cheaper ones have been known to jump around in psi. And that looks like a ls1 fuel rail, if it is then its a dampner.

    Mine was the Wix.. tried two different ones.. it would hold pressure too high, and then it failed and held zero pressure. put in an aeromotive FPR and works perfect now.
    Mine failed as i was using the vetter filter on my TBSS fuel rails, which are returnless, and my 03 truck is return style.

    I have seen the results of installing the fuel filter backwards and that is exactly the same results they got. The 3/8 side of the dual fitting side is the input line of the filter and the 5/16 fitting is the return line back to the tank. The single fitting side goes to the fuel rail. Your setup is no different than anyone else's that is working properly. Many have thought the 5/16 side was for the fuel pump side only to find excessive fuel pressure at the rail.
