fuel filter change 7.3 rocks

I used to have a ctd 12v that looked like there was alot of room in the engine bay but everything was a pain in the *** to work on. Now working on my 7.3 it looks like theres no room in there but so far everything has been cake to work on. I love this truck now just need to get a better clutch so i can crank my power up on the truck even higher to match what my ctd put out. It also amazes me when reading how long the autos last on these trucks compaired to the ctd. You would be lucky to get 100k out of them and everyone on here gets 200k+ these trucks are so much better built then the dodges!

I don't see a question here. But you said you will be wanting to crank it up. There is nothing you can do to crank these engines up without spending money on mods. Not like you can crank the fuel injector pump up on the cummins.
