Black04SS Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Every Chevy / GMC truck we've owned going back to 1994 has had the fuel filter on the frame under the drivers seat,,,my son's 03SSS has it there ,but my 04SSS's fuel filter is nowhere to be found. Are they in the tank on the 04's ? TIA Black 04SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yup, they decided to put them in the tank in 04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yup, they decided to put them in the tank in 04. A simple 10 minute job turns into 2 hours. Aren't the 04+ FFs supposed to be good for like 150K or something. I wouldn't care, I would still change them out at least yearly. I overkill every maintenance item though. FYI, it may be easier to remove the bed rather than drop the tank if you have helpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbomark Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I wanted to change mine too but forget it with it being inside the tank. Why do they do things like this?? Cost?? They want the service$$$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 How about the 05 & 06 models,,where are they located Black04SS <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All CM trucks with returnless fuel systems ('04 and later) are equipped with in-tank fuel filters. One of the little blessings I count in owning an '03, but I'd rather have the in-tank fuel filter than the crappy '03 brakes. Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black04SS Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Mr P thanks for the insite,,please give us an indepth explaination of the "returnless" fuel system and how it is different from the 03's and earlier models. ie; are the injectors and fuel managment "on the engine" the same? What's the recomended service life of the "in tank" filters? Enquiring minds want to know Black04SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
