I do the same change interval as Rick does, 15,000. I buy from the same place too. After a few changes you'll get a feel on time time line when to change. Very important to keep those injectors as clean as possible.. What Brendan said^^^^

Hi, all. First post here. I recently picked up a 2001 F250, extended cab, 4x4 with 68,000 miles on the clock. I managed to scoop it up for a steal. Most of the PSD trucks I was able to find at the price I paid had over 300,000 miles on them. It's a heck of an upgrade from the 2001 S10 I was driving!

But enough about me...
I don't know if the fuel filter has been changed on this truck. Does anyone have a nice write-up, preferably with pics, on how to complete this?

Thank you!

-Eric H
