    Radiator won't take fluid

    So, turns out the cooling system on this truck had been neglected by the previous owners. The radiator shop told me they vatted and flushed the radiator 3 times and it was still 70% plugged. So they rodded it and repairing a little tiny hole in a tube and now it took all the coolant just fine.

    M54A2 Fuel Filter part#?

    I've looked thru the spreadsheet but not sure if the fuel filter listed is correct for a M54A2 as it doesn't specify. I need to replace my filter and check my fuel pump, as the 15A fuse in the pump cover was blown. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated.
