Threads are normal, and that's all it takes. Just lift up and try not to get fuel everywhere.
If you click on the Aricles/Specs link at the top of the page, you can then click on Diesel and there is a step by step article on changing the fuel filter

Also slide a piece of 5/16 hose up on outlet tupe so it wont drain down on front end and put drain pan or plastic bottle so you can see what you drained out. Aswell as not getting it all over the ground. Good luck

Just so you know for next time. If you get underneath you truck and look on the left side of the motor just above the frame there is a little tube that terminates right there. I tried to hook a piece of 5/16 hose over it but it wasn't big enough to fit over the tube. I just make shifted a drain tube out of some electrical wire that was big enough, I had lying around.
