No your 2009" Silverado does Not have inline Fuel Filter....G/M/Chevy starting with the 2004" Models, Move the Filter into the Fuel Tank, and it is part of the Fuel Pump Assembly, G.M. said it is non-serviceable.....and G.M. it is good for 100,000 miles.

would it be recommended to add an aftermarket filter in the engine compartment, or does the OEM one suffice?

I don't know of anyone that added a aftermarket inline fuel filter.....and with those that do have the Fuel filter in the tank......once again I have not heard of guys having problems with the fuel filter in the tank......
Below is article that goes into detail on why G/M....moved the Fuel filter into the Tank.....the Reason is due the....Returnless Fuel injection Systems,

Thanks for the great info.
Seems a little short sited of GM to think that all gas is clean, and the filter is not accessible, but oh well.

Your Welcome.....1 other note and that is the ....Fuel Filter in the tank is More of a Stainer than a Filter.

Anyway GM Can save a buck and charge you Lots of $$$$ to change it.. In my 02 I used to change my filter every 8K It was in the frame rail and took 15 mins to do..
