Clogged fuel filters do not seem to happen too often, if you use a half-decent gas station you should have nothing to worry about for a long time.
My truck almost 100,000 miles using the same fuel pump setup, and its running the original fuel pump. My friends dad has GMC with a fuel filter that can be replaced (it has a recommended intervail of 30,000 miles), has 100,000 miles on his truck, and hasn't had it replaced once. Both of our vehicles haven't had one fuel-related problem.
I do think they should have replaceable fuel filters, but, I'm also saying, just go to a half-decent fuel station, and you eliminate a lot of problems. (Besides, the cheaper fuel seems to get worse mileage)

 

Thats not going to happen b/c the line from the tank to rail is all hard-lined. Besides, an in-line filter is pointless if the filter in the tank gets plugged.

 

This isn't a high jack,But you brought it up,How does one change the rear Diff fluid I was woundering the same on mine & don't mind getting a lil dirty.Do I need any special tools ect....

Blu_

 

I was just going to say that because it would go though the filter in the tank first then into the one inline unless you removed the one in the tank and just put a screen around the pump like an older one has.

 

my 88 and my 99 dakota is still on its origional intank fuel filter. and I've never had a problem with it. and I was gonna mention somethin abou the inline fuel filter after the tank. but you beat me to it.



and to change the rear diff is easy. but I'm not gonna explain it cause it will take too long.it's only like a 1/2 hour job though.

 

I'll explain (I don't have anything else to do )
Take out the bottom most bolts of the differential cover, and let the fluid drain out (may require you to use a flat-head screw driver to wedge up in there to break the seal... use common sense, don't break anything). Than, remove the rest of the bolts and remove the cover.
Take a gander at the gears and look for anything out of the ordinary. Look at the bottom of the differential for the same. Preferably, use light engine oil to flush out the inside of the differential.
Clean off the inside of the cover.
Than, apply a seam of RTV sealant (make sure its compatible with lubricants, as well as temperatures in the 200* range)on the cover. Allow this to sit for about 3 minutes before you put the cover on.
After you put the cover back on, its prefered to wait for some time (up to 24 hours) to fill the differential, but I didn't, and never had a leak. Anyways, than fill with the specified amount of fluid: 70 ounces for the 8-1/4", 72 ounces for the 9-1/4". Remember, if you had a limited-slip differential, add the friction modifier.

 

oh, and paint your rear diff cover while it's off! lol

 

I did...RED.

 

Pretty much what dodgerules86 said but, I used a small scraper & rubber mallet to tap the scraper between the diff. and the cover. If you've got any questions, shoot me a PM.

 

Yeah you guys are talking about an in-line filter.....put it before it goes to the tank.

That way that "pre filter" would get clogged before the true filter would. I mean I haven't looked underneath the truck at the fuel lines and all that ****, but ideally you'd want another filter before the fuel filter. It wouldn't make sense to put it after the "non servicable"part(well it is, but it's a bitch to get to)
