The fuel filter in a 2013 GMC Sierra is positioned underneath the vehicle on the frame rail. Fuel filters play a crucial role in the fuel delivery system by preventing dirt and other impurities from contaminating the fuel system and causing harm. A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, leading to misfiring and potential stalling. Replacing a fuel filter typically ranges from $85 to $100, but prices may fluctuate depending on your location.
My 2013 Sierra Crew Cab 4x4 that has a 5.3-liter engine does not come with a separate fuel filter installed. I have verified this information with General Motors. It seems that the filter is part of the fuel tank or the fuel pump system in this model.
The fuel filter for a 2013 GMC 1500 can be found on the metal frame beneath the truck.
Where can I find the fuel filter on my 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4.8-liter engine?
I was also informed by the service team at my nearby GMC dealership that my 2013 Sierra 5.3 Liter does not come with a fuel filter. One less thing to worry about. Instead of replacing the filter, they suggest cleaning the fuel system.
