When you are picking a place to do it, go where you won't mind a bit of fuel being sprayed. It WILL be at least a partially pressurized system when you break the seal on it.
2. Wear safety glasses. Not sure if this is an issue for you but my dad is really bad about it. I was holding a pair out to him because he kept refusing. Then when he got the fuel disconnected it sprayed right in his face. He hates it when I say "I told ya so"
3. It's easy if you do your reading ahead of time.
If the filter has never been changed I'm surprised that the truck is still running.

Thanks for the pro tips ill definitely take heed. Wearing safety glasses is something I never do I will this time around.
You'd think all of this stuff would be bad news for me but with my performance issues I'm using I'm excited to see what difference it makes when I do some well need maintanence on it.
PS: I got this truck only 13ish k miles ago, that's why all the unknown.
