I have an 04 250 and am having trouble finding the primary fuel filter... from what I can find online, one person says its under the drivers side frame rail, another says its on top of the motor... but I cannot find it..
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Pictures? etc?
Just make sure to use Motocraft/Racor/IH filters. Something about the patent that differentiates these from others. I get mine from my local International Dealer saves a few bucks (like 20 or 30) over getting the Motocraft ones from my local ford dealer. A lot of folks here get them from DieselFiltersOnline website. Here's links to the filter change postings in the 6.0 tech folder:
i just finished doing mine for the 5th time in 200,000 thou last week.it's a messy job so have some drip buckets and rags ready.i recomend that you pull the whole fiter assembly off the frame rail if you have never cleaned the the manifold out and clean the water in fuel contacts also get rid of that pot metal 6mm drain plug and get the one with the knurled head.if it's a 4x4 pull the front driveshaft for easier working conditions.
