First fuel filter change

I changed my fuel filters for the first time tonight (15,551 mi). Nothing unusual in the frame mounted filter, I haven't cut open the engine mounted filter yet.

It took about twice as long as it should have but not a drop of diesel spilled. Here is the reason for the delay, my 4 year old insisted he help fix my truck. He also pulled his power wheel F-150 out into the driveway to fix it also.




Last weekend we installed LED lighting in his truck:




My son is looking forward to the next oil change!
