Well I finally got to do a little work to my truck!
Since I have 3-4 days off during the week, I figured I better do something constructive with it. Last sat. at work I used my lunch break to go to the local 4wheel parts store that is like 1 mile from my job and bought a new heavier duty steering stabilizer and a set of offroad spotter lights for the fron tof my truck. Well I finally made time wed. to put everything on. Ill get a pic of everything ASAP and post it here.
I was also having trouble starting the truck in the mornings because the fuel system was sucking air (diesel) somewhere. Well I did alot of reading on the coloradok5.com site for similiar problems and fixes which usually ended in changing the filter block. Well after checking prices against cash flow, I figured I would have to wait until I had the extra money to do the conversion to an aftermarket kit. Well I was talking to my dad about it since he is a Master Diesel Mechanic and he basically said we'll figure it out. With that said, I went ahead and finished with the light install on my truck and the next day he brought me a fuel filter assembly off a 10ton dump truck! ![]() ![]()

A 10 ton dump truck. Man that thing should do some bad ass filtering.
![]() It sure is fun to get things like this fixed, I know. Although I have no experience with diesels. Now tell me. How big was this filter?

The one I replaced was the stock block filter, 2"Wx6"Tx2"D with a screw on filter which is 3"dia.x8"long. Ill get a pick of them both so you can see the difference in them.
