nope... fuel filter will not quit flowing like that... most likely the lift pump IMO... drag it on over to the dealer and let them fix it.

OK, then I stand corrected... I cannot imagine a fuel filter clogging that fast to kill a motor though. I would expect it to be a progressive power loss before it would kill the motor.

I agree, gas is going higher every day. I am making up the difference in the price of my truck from my 06 hemi in gas savings alone.
