Gas Filter

I'm trying to change the gas filter on my v10 limited, is there a special tool to remove or release the clips that grips the ends of the filter?

Yes, that special tool can be easily found at most auto parts stores.

It's a small piece of plastic that runs about $2-$3.

Make sure you realease the fuel pressure before taking that filter off though. I found the easiest way was to pull the fuel pump fuse while the truck is running and then let it die out on its own. You can locate that fuse via the owner's manual.

Thanks for your response. does it have a triangular shape on one end and like 2 legs at the other and it is at a 90 degree angle?

I bought the filter and it came with 2 white clips on the filter itself that is removable. I tried them to remove the old one and no go. can't figure it out at all.

Doughnut-shaped plastic wedge, split on one side so you can fit it over the tube ... slide it up into the coupling & it releases the clips inside the coupling.
