So yesterday i realized i was coming up on time to change my fuel filters and stopped by international on the way home picked up my filters and got started when i got there. This is where things get fun.

First i drained the fuel water separator. Small white flakes and a ton of crud? awesome!

Then i pull the filter and discover more crud and this lovely looking filter.

Huh, are the dirty ones Racor/motorcraft filters? Ive seen one twist like that but, it was a cheap Napa filter. How many miles are on the filters?

The top piece to the shaft in the bowl decided it wanted to come off with my filter

You think my 04 bowl would replace it?

Nothing wrong with the bowl, just that piece inside. I believe it comes out with just 2 torx screws. But i'm not sure if they are the same peice/design or not

I personally would not go over 10k miles with fuel filters on a 6.0. Injectors cost too much...

Yea i usually don't let them run for too long but money and other things have slowed me down on my truck a bit, I just clicked 5k on my oil so i'll be changing that today :rolleyes:
