Weird Noise?

Well i changed my fuel filter and now when i first turn the key before i startd it there is weird noise. It is kind of creek like when you close an old door. It is only there for a split second and then goes away it starts jsut fine and runs good. I just dont know if this going to hurt anything in the future. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?

The only thing I can think of is its your fuel bowl filling up, pressurizing. Others will be by to offer their thoughts, welcome to FTE...

It's either your fuel pump, right under your seat under the truck. Or the vacuum pump under the hood, would be my guess.

If you didn't hear either of them, they they would be out. The fuel pump will come on when you turn the key on, the vacuum pump will come on most of the time you turn the key on. Try to fine exactly where the noise is coming from so we will know which one you hear.
