Default 2004 GC fuel filter replacement?

Hi,
My Dealer said to replace the filter @ 60,000 miles we now have 80,000
Does any one know where it is? and is it easy enough to do?

Thanks, Jack

I'm not sure if the filter is separately replaceable.
the 01-03 vans had an external fuel filter that was serviceable. I think the 04+ vans have the filter incorporated into the pump module. I don't know it you can service the filter without replacing the whole pump.
Ask the dealer if the filter is available separately. It may be a filter/regulator combo.

I believe you have to drop the fuel tank. The filter, a very large one,
is located between the tank and the frame. (I consider this a poor
design by Chrysler.) Fortunately, it's recommended to only be replaced
every 65K miles.

I let the dealer do mine as I didn't want to deal with emptying the
fuel tank. It wasn't too expensive.

I have an 05 GC and took to the dealer to purchase the filter, and they told me that I didn't have per say "fuel Filter", so there is nothing to change. I hope they aren't joshing me.....
