Pretty easy job. Some guys have problems with draining the fuel out and get it on them but I never had a problem.
I do it this way. Truck level. Remove fuel tank cap. Drain fuel. Remove engine fuel filter. Remove Driver side frame filter. Lube plastic threads on filter caps with light oil and replace. Cycle key 8 times. I use a swivel as well on the 36 mm socket with an extension on the frame filter. Biggest problem is laying on my back under the truck since I'm a big guy space is tight. More work putting it up on ramps so I just deal with it.
