Have the Stealer do an injector flush while you are there, it is cheap and the difference can be amazing.

more than likely an air leak especially if it just happened after changing filter . it is a good idea to stick with ac delco on this item and make sure to lube orings before installing. you can also try to uninstall your programer or module and see what that does I have had a few in the shop where something has gone amiss in the programing .one that installs in line as opposed to a program that is downloaded into the system is more likely to cause issues

they're all manufactured by Racor. Pay out the azz if it makes you feel better.

the only difference is the top insert that locats the filter media in the can, plastic vs metal. No performance or install advantage/disadvantage to either. The threads and o-ring seat are exactly the same as it is the same metal can.

all versions manufactured by Racor! GM just specs a metal insert/cap to locate the media.
