Fuel filter change

Just finished my first fuel filter change!!!! Was not too bad at all ( thanks to you guys sharing your experience on the forums, made it a breeze). But they sure dont give those filter kits away.

Dieselfiltersonline. Buy the Racor brand. They make the filters for Motorcraft. Same for the oil filters. NTZ is the mfg. of the external tranny filter.
