    I can't find any info here or even on YouTube about where the fuel filter is for the 2013 V6, 4.0 engine. I assume it does have one. Please advise. Thanks!

    It's in the tank as a part of the fuel pump assembly.

    Thank you all! And Jimmy for the illustration. With that, how often should you change the filter? Or with this setup, should I not even bother?

    Do yourself a favor and head to URD and get a fuel pump upgrade. This will net you an external fuel filter and a fresh pump which will be a much better setup. I plan on doing this soon (been telling myself this for like 2 years.... its the thought that counts)

    I just replace the Fp on my 05. I wished I would have known about the URD before I did it. Not just the $$ savings but the addition of the external FP.

    And perhaps replace the gas tank straps too! If in the north for sure.

    Definitely go with the URD kit. I made the swap myself after riding around with lean codes and hesitation at highway speeds and top end. Made a world of difference and you can change the fuel filter with ease when needed.
