So I had to do my first real maintenance on the truck for the year I owned it.. Chevy so kindly did all my oil changes the last year (now that is over though.. but oh well).
I decided to do my own fuel filter, it was a year old so I figured it could not hurt. I have to say it was VERY easy. Used an AC Delco replacement. The only thing I did not like is the O-ring would not lock into the channel. It did once screwed into place but I was nervous it would walk out of the channel when threading in. Might try another brand next time to see if it is different.
Other than the 20 screws to drop the fender well it was a 1/2 hour job. I did make one oops.. I did not realize how much fuel stayed in between the filter and the water sensor. I dumped the filter and began to unscrew the sensor when I dumped diesel all over the work bench. Won't do that again...
