Steve,
It sounds like you've had your truck off the road once in a while. Watch out when installing an aftermarket fuel filter set up. It's a good idea and fine for people who never take their 4 X 4s off of the road, but all of them that I've looked at hang down too far. I'm worried that when I'm either stuck in a mud hole (last time was about 4 weeks ago) or climbing over something like a rock, that I'm going to crunch the filters and then be left sitting there with a real problem. Most people have to mount them down on the frame because there's no room in the engine compartment.

Bill,
The setup I am looking at is a bit more basic. The Fass DR replaces the stock lift pump in the stock location. The fuel filter housing stays stock. The new pump is higher pressure than stock and you can run a finer mesh filter element in the stock housing.
That is what I will be running. I will be changing filter elements about every 3000-5000 miles if there is any question about fuel quality. Typical US highway use I change every 10k-15k miles.
