HELP! I Need to Change My Fuel Filter
I have a 98 12 valve and I don't know how to change the fuel filter. I had a 93 and that one was easy.
Can someone please give me step by step instructions on changing my fuel filter.
Thank You

Those directions are good, however, on my 98 I find it easier to remove the whole filter housing before opening it to change the filter. You need a 10 deep socket for the bolts that hold it to the manifold, a 10 and 17 for the banjo fittings on top. Keep track of the copper sealing washers. And, when it's out, you have good access to the fuel heater/ prefilter so you can clean that screen also. The first time I replaced the filter I did it through the bottom as the linked instructions suggest, and it was a pain. Removing the housing is a bit more work, but easier, especially if you have big hands.

Well, I changed it out and I am glad I did. Who ever had the truck before I got it probably did not change it in a while. It was looking pretty bad, goey, not nice.
thanks again for your help
