Fuel FILTER light

Just a quick question to the 7.3L pre-powerstroke owners. Does/is your fuel FILTER light supposed to come on when you cranking? Not the Water In Fuel light but the Fuel Filter indicator under the tachometer. Thanks!

Mine does not, change your fuel filter, then if it continues check the pressure at the schrader valve on the filter head. If the pressure is good while running (5-7psi) then pull the bell looking thing and check it for debris. This is the pressure sending unit that turns on the check filter light.
