it is my understanding that the factory fuel filter has undergone continous changes/upgrades. How good is it now in the 07 lbz?
I found this about the Baldwins that I have:

"newly designed Baldwin fuel filters that meet the most recent 2005 GM requirement. The GM cross reference is 97385488. The old filters were a single pleat with a rating of 5-7 microns. The new unit is a dual pleat design rated at 2 microns for even more injector protection."

I have been looking into secondary fuel filters, but how bad are the newest oem filters?

Who does not use a secondary filter and plans on their motor holding up for many miles?

thank you

use a secondary fuel filter and I plan on having my new truck for a long time.
I just did an oil change and fuel filter change, and the spin on tranny filter, replaced all three with WIX filters.
