How often do you change your fuel filter?
I had a 1992 12V I changed the oil every 5k and I had to change that little filer every 10k or I would be found on the side of the road changing it.
My 2001 24V I change the oil at 10k, I have been running the fuel filters 25k+ or so and never had one clog. Actually forgot when I change my last one, so it's due now.
I am just afraid to run them too long and starve the VP. Your thoughts?

I have 100K on my truck and I changed mine out twice since I purchased it new. On both occasions, I think the filters looked fine. Plus if you have a fuel pressure gage you can tell if you flow is becoming restrictive. Unless you hang out in Mexico, I would not worry about to much.

Reliability is my #1 concern as well, and in my truck I added three gauges: fuel pressure, boost, and EGT (exhaust gas temp). They all have their purpose and they're all very important to me. Transmission temp is also great to have on a truck with an auto. I have a manual transmission, but if I had an auto I'd have a tranny temp gauge too.
