Not knowing your mechanical level or experience, let me caution you about the fuel filter: It's big, heavy, and when full of fuel awkward to install. There's a square cut o-ring that seal the canister to the base that will slip out of place and/or fall out. IT MUST HAVE A GOOD TIGHT SEAL else it'll suck air and you'll play **** trying to get it re-primed and the engine running. Last time I ended up removing the big fuel line coming into the bottom of the PT Pump and pouring fuel down it until everything was filled & burped. This may or may not be the "correct" or "TM" way to do it, but it worked when I recovered my M923. (BTW: I'd like to thank the individual that REMOVED the new filter & seal that was in the cab when I bid on it, it was what I needed to get the Truck up & running, but I digress.) IIRC later versions, at least those repowered with 8.3L engines had a small in-line filter that was highly problematic: we removed them all together when trucked equipped came in for repair or reset. At some point I will remove the canister filter from my truck and replace it with a high quality, spin-on fuel-water filter/separator. Like a Raycor unit. (it'll also have the built in primer bulb and heater too) makes life much easier especially in very cold, sub-zero temperatures like we have up here.
