Reliability tier: aggregated - verify before ordering, see /disclosure/

Fuel filter service and cold-weather power loss: the most common service stop on the 3.2 (SSM 45872 service tip; SSM 48601 cold-weather power loss). The aluminum housing cracks and leaks - replace it, not just the element, when it is damaged.
