I suppose if you had a 1000RWHP engine you would need something else, but for the 90% of builds out there, this filter will work just fine.

      As for using the 2001 truck filter, I believe it will have the quick disconect style fittings on it. That will make it more difficullt to integrate into your fuel system.

      No data, but consider this. That filter has at most a 10 micron paper element. There is no free lunch, and a 10 micron filter that size is going to be a restriction with its low filter area, especially when it gets dirty. Restrictions in the fuel system cause heat build up in the fuel. I have been battling heat saturation in my car and have replaced every "it should be big enough" part with overkill parts.
