Thanks. Yes, there's a filter on before the e-pump. Now I have all three cars set up the same way and standardized with the same filters to make it easy to replace.

Wow! Time flies quickly. It's been almost a year since I last updated this post (means no work done on the truck).

Just yesterday I picked up the finished front fenders. Overall, the body shop did an excellent job. I still have to paint the insides with some undercoating spray. I have a friend coming this week to start rewiring the entire truck and checking out why one cylinder is not firing (he needs the money and I don't have the time to dedicate to it).

So, once the truck is wired and the engine issue is figured out, I'll be able to bolt the front clip together.

The hood latch panel wasn't painted (even though I asked the shop to do that) and the new paint matches the old paint very close, if not perfectly. I'll also take the rear Panel doors to the shop soon so they can be done.
