Aren't you taking a chance running unfiltered fuel through the canister into your engine if you just fill it with no filter?? I will not risk that so I do the bumping and priming.

I 2nd the fleetguard stratapore. Get a long (16") extension to preferably a 1/2'
ratchet & a good gripping wrench. Go under from passenger side front of truck and unscrew that baby off! Prime a fleetguard stratapore to the rim &
dump in the rest of 3 gallons of shell rotella

I just installed a NAPA Gold fuel filter. Mileage increased about 1.3 MPG with new filter.

Is this filter OK or should I replace it with a fleetguard?

Thanks

I am wanting the EXACT tires you have. Any problems w/ ruubing or being on stock rims? any vibrations?
