Has anyone replaced ther fuel filter yet? If so does it need to be primed with diesel before you spin it on or can you put it on dry?

Thanks

Install dry and prime with hand pump on top of filter housing. Check the owners manual it tells you how to do it. You could also search the DIY section. There is a nice writeup with pictures.

here ya go it was something like the 6th thread down in the DIY forum. http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1508

I here everybody talking about searching for things. Is it on the home page of this site?

I edited my previous post to include the thread.

Filling the filter first risks getting dirty fuel past the filter.
IF you fill it first, make sure that ALL of the new (unfiltered) oil enters the filter through the small holes in the perimeter of the plastic part.... do not pour any down the center through the rubber seal.

Oh... and the "search" feature is right here:
