At a Baldwin dealer. Since we have alot of trucks running through Savannah due to the port it didn't take long to find. Heck, give Fleetpride a call in Savannah,Ga. or Baldwin themselves.

Baldwin- 1-800-822-5394

I know this has been discussed b4, and I'm pretty sure it's fine but, will the stock in-tank lift pump be ok with a 5 micron filter?

One I would hope Baldwin took this into consideration before production.My neighbor has a 05 dually with about 120k on it,bone stock except for a Rokktech crank sensor.Has always run 10 micron filters.He changed to the 5 micron Baldwin and just did some horse hauling(pulls about 9k loaded) from here(Ga.)to Ok.and around a few other states totaling about 3k in 4 days with no issues.

I would think the max service life would be under 10,000 miles on a 5 micron filter, depending on fuel quality.

I agree it probably will be lower but you will save your injectors from the added wear so that is a good thing. I would rather the filter catch the junk and change it more frequent. It also has the same flow rating at 5 microns so I don't see any negative issues on the LP.
