Default fuel filter

Hey I am new here, I have a 98 dodge ram 1500 sport with a 5.9 in it. I want to know if I had an inline fuel filter or if I only have the one on the fuel pump. The Myspace forum said I don't have one in the gas line, but a guy I know said every single vehicle ever made has one. Sense you guys are very smart I figured you would know the real answer.

No you don't. I bought my new fuel pump assy on E-Bay and saved over ½ the price on a dealership pump.

It's the same damned part. Don't blame me if you don't know how to shop around. I have over 20,000 miles on mine, so what do I know
