Fuel Filter Replacement

[KiefOlsen92]

I got replacement fuel filter for a 6.2 diesel at store since it hasn't been hanged since '09

What are the steps I should do it by?

Here's a picture filter I intend to change

Step 1- read the TM

Step 2- search SS.

Step 3- proceed with knowledge and understanding.

Or step 1: discard original setup and add spin on mod. Makes life so much easier

That is helpful but I have questions on what line the return line is... The top black tube on the right side?
Do I unplug the red wire first then return then clear tube on left. RECONSTRUCT. Ten take off the top blak cap on the left for a second and turn it on?

The TM has step by step instructions that should be very clear and easy to follow.

The forum can give you 100's of opinions/experiences.

You asked for the proper procedure. I'd go by the book.

Thanks. I called my uncle who works on tractors and is a genius... He had me unplug the red/pink on the injection pump crank the starter with the bleeder off... and boom done.
So much thanks to my uncle.

His directions are grossly over simplified.

Maybe but he's built salvage titled cars and was working on like quarter to half million dollar machines wen I called him haha... I remember his old 6.5 suburban he had I used to hate how loud it was wen I was little... Here's a pic of the injection pump for the red wire if it helps anyone

If you will post his number, we can burn the TMs.
