Just did the fuel filter for the first time. Had it changed out 3 or 4 times and it's probably been 20-40k miles since the last time. The rear end of the filter was a breeze. Stick the tool in and off with the hose. Just a little bit of gas dripped and it was clear. Then unclipped the metal clip and tried the front side of the filter. Not as easy. Here I was thinking it was going to be a 30 second job. After wrestling with it for a while I used a pair of pliers to help wedge in the tool into the the metal fitting of the fuel line and finally pop. A bit of gas dripped and collected in my water bottle. Removing the filter from the bracket helped with the process. Assembly was definitely the easiest part. Just 2 clicks and done. Still only took 10 minutes of actual labor. I will never pay for this service again. Thank you all f150online.

Here's what the gas looked like. It was clean from the rear end drippage but from the front it was dirty. I don't get it. Clean gas going in and dirty gas going out to the engine?



Anyways thinking about tearing apart the filter and wondering how to do it without blowing myself up.

 

washed it last night. got the oil changed and filled it up today. driving to nova tomorrow, then to look at a jetski, then home in the next 2 days. other than that just been driving it.

 

That looks like regular clean gasoline to me. Hold that filter with the inlet side pointing straight down and I bet you see much nastier looking stuff come out.

 

got to pick up a mattress and deliver it to the lake house today, along with a few wood planks and other junk.

 

Did the Gotts mod on my truck today. I used PVC because I didnt want to buy 10' of abs pipe. spray painted the pvc black before hand. turned out pretty good in my opinion.


I actually wiped stuff down a little for this picture.

 

Cleaned the Garage so I can park the beast inside it. No more Florida sun killing my paint woo hoo!

 

got it inspected (every year, yay). luckily the guy dug my truck ("That sounds sick man")

 

Installed 2nd Fathers Day gift.
B&I 9 piece 3D Dash Kit in Platinum Silver finish.

 

^ Looks good.

 

Thanks. I appreciate hearing that. I've gotta tell ya though, if I hadn't have owned a Dremel Tool and not had a lot of time on my hands, 9 hours, I would have sent the kit back! 3 pieces fit perfectly, 4 pieces required some minor fitting, and 2 pieces required a lot of "trial and error" major fitting. A real challenge for this old man!

 

Got the tires rotated at 7:30 this morning. Came home and washed it

 

Went mudding for the second day in a row.

 

built a front driveshaft spacer and installed it.

 

Ordered a new door handle and lock cylinder (damn thieves). Installed new 3rd brake light (John Boat riding over the cab, towel slipped out. Don't load stuff up when you've been drinking then forget to check it when you leave the next day).

 

Installed some led tail lights:

And woke it up with a Borla cat back system.
