Where is the fuel filter on our tb ? And ia it easy to change ? Its $49 at jiffy to have it done....
It's on the driver's side frame rail, below the B-pillar. You'll need a stubby phillips head screw driver to remove the securing strap and some needle nose pliers to compress the two clips that hold the fuel line on (these clips are pretty easy to remove, unlike many others on our trucks). The filter should be directional, with at least one of the ports marked IN or OUT. A filter should run about $10-$20, depending on where you get it. Do this in a well-ventilated area since you will be dealing with fuel. No smoking!
Start the vehicle.
Pull the fuse/relay for the fuel pump. The truck will die. This will help relieve some of the pressure on the system.
Jack up the vehicle. Put a jackstand in place.
Unstrap the filter.
Remove the fuel lines. Fuel will come out - use rags and/or a drain pan to catch the fuel.
Attach fuel lines to the filter, paying mind to the IN/OUT ports on the filter. Be sure the lines snap into the clips.
Strap the filter back into place.
Lower the vehicle.
Replace the fuse/relay for the fuel pump.
Before starting the vehicle, turn the vehicle to the RUN position. Listen for the pump to cycle on and off. Do that three times to build pressure in the system.
Start the vehicle.
Check for leaks, which should be apparent since the system is pressurized at the rail to ~55psi.
Do a tool inventory and clean up.
