Fuel Filter And Pump?
SO LAST NIGHT I WAS WORKING ON THE TRUCK CHANGING OUT MY FAN CLUTCH AND CLEANING OUT THE FUEL FILTER FUEL SCREEN. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL FILTER HOUSE WAS A LOT OF RUST SO I SCRAPPED IT OUT AND TRIED TO GET AS MUCH OF IT OUT AS POSSIBLE. iN THE PROCESS I HIT THE LITTLE WIRE THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE PLATE AND ONE OF THE LITTLE ANOIDS FELL IN AND THE WIRE GOT BENT SO I FISHED THE ANOID OUT AND SET IT BACK IN ITS SPOT BUT THE WIRE DOESENT SIT COMPLETLTY FLAT ACROSS THE ANOID LOOKING THINGS.
I DROVE THE TRUCK THIS MORNING AND IT FEELS LIKE A NEW TRUCK I DONT KNOW IF IT IS CAUSE THE FAN CLUTCH OR THE WHAT EVER I DID TO THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOW THE TRUCK RUNS LIKE NEW. MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THAT RING AND ANOIDS FOR AND WHAT I DID WILL HURT ANYTHING ANY ANSWERS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I just lost one of mine in the bowl also. I just put it all back together and it is fine, no problems. The wire is the heater from what I understand. You can unplug the heater if you want but you should be just fine. You run better because you cleaned the screen and got a new filter in my opinion.
