Fuel Filter Replacement

If you want to change the diesel engine fuel filter
yourself, here is how to do it:
CAUTION:
{
Diesel fuel is flammable. It could start a fire if
something ignites it, and you could be burned.
Do not let it get on hot engine parts, and keep
matches or other ignition sources away.
First, drain any water from the filter by following the
water draining procedure earlier in this section.
Your vehicle's engine should be off until the end of this
procedure.

If your vehicle has the 6.6L engine, the fuel filter is
located in the engine compartment on the driver's side
of the vehicle. If your vehicle has either the 7.2L or
7.8L engine, the fuel filters are located in the engine
compartment on the driver's side of the vehicle, and on
the driver's side frame rail in front of the fuel tank.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Unplug the water
sensor wire connected

unscrew the filter
element.
