Not long ago I got a F250 and are still searching for a source of cheaper consumerables than the main f250 suppliers.

So far I have found oil filters at $22 each. This one is for a Hino truck but also fites F250.

I would appreciate if anyone knows other sources for fuel filters, air filters, drive belts etc.

Carl, Motherhen will be able to assist as I remember they source parts from the US.

Could be worth MM them.

be careful on your belt size - there is 3 different sizes for the 7.3lt

if you put cav 296 filter between your tank and pump it'll save your main filter and save your pump!

Thanks Kyle,

Off the top of my head I'm not certain about a cav 296 filter. I take it, itis a in line filter that you just insert along the fuel line?

cav 296 is this a brand name or a part number?

Rodger that about the belt. I might just pay extra for that as it will not be a often used item. (hopefully).

Thanks Kyle, a picture says 1000 words. I went looking for the fuel filter and could not find it. Only after getting a spare and looking at it did I know where to look. Unusual filter. One would not like to be replacing them everyday.

Interesting learning how each new vehicle works that I get. I had all my tools down pat for the 200 landcruiser and now everything is back to imperial again.

I get my parts and filters for my F series from the States mostly. For my 97 F350 I saved 5 or 600 dollars on water pump,vacuum pump and idlers + hoses etc over going local and that was air freight included.
For my 09 F350 I bought filters from the States a week back at around half freight included. Ordered them Sunday evening and they arrived at my door Friday morning. I used Rock auto's online store.

As a F250 owner and with the Aus $ so good at the present if you buy in bulk from the USA there are some great savings.Oil fitlers x 12 $20 (purchased Feb 2009) each includes freight.--- (today,s price $17.95) As we are fulltime on the road i order in bulk and pack some with us and the rest sit at home till we go past next time or just get them sent to me where ever we are if I need to. Powerstoke.com is ok to use,autowarehouse,dieselhouse etc ,but there are heaps of others just google F250 parts do a bit of homework and save the dollars
