[QUOTE=ncranchero]The 3595 fits multiple applications and some of them may still use the old style clips. If you can see the number on your old filter just interchange it on the Wix site I posted. That way you'll be 99 % sure you got the right one.
Motorcraft FG986B crosses to 3595 NAPA. You're good to go.

cool, if you enter your VIN, you can see what your truck originally listed for!

Screwey: Thanks for posting the pics. I havn't seen the wrench type tool you described, guess I havent looked.
Pat2724, let us know if you see any improvement. I'll be filling up my tank today and will post new mileage numbers as soon as it is gone.

maybe i missed someone posting it, but i'd assume that on our "older" trucks we still need to release the pressure via the reset switch? can i (we) go off of the very detailed description on the main page of the '04+ replacements, or are ours totally different?
thanks in advance!

I just replaced mine about a month ago. I just let my truck sit for about 3hrs. I used the NAPA wrench type tool and just put a rag over it incase any fuel pressure was still built up. No problems.
The guy at NAPA got both the wrench type and the pack of multiple plastic sleeves out. I went with wrench.

You're welcome. And thank you for posting the coke bottle trick. I love it! Good to see that there are more redneck engineers out there. I may have to get with some of my buddies around here and post a list of these redneck remedies to get you through a bind.

i dont know how many miles but i've put 40,000 or so kilometres on it since the last time it was changed. I've got 316,000 kilometres on her now. Only recently I've noticed the fuel mileage has dropped off considerably. I would do it myself but am not too fond of smelling gasoline and buying a tool for it. I'll take her in and get her done up.

As for the tool, I cut a piece of a anti-freeze jug, wraped it arount the line, slipped it in with slip-nose pliers and waa-lah off it came. Then I went a bought the tool. $12.99 @ NAPA (metal scissor type, 2 sizes) for the next time. My brain gets tired when I think that hard on a weekend.
