05 XLT
Has anyone changed the fuel filter on a 05 EST XLT and if so where is it located? Thanks for the help.
 






If I recall correctly from my old '05, it is behind the transfer case on the passenger side frame rail. You will need the special fuel filter removal tool. It is a pain in the ass.
 






I haven't changed mine yet bit I assume it takes the same tool as most other late Fords. These are the best IMO.

I think its in the drivers side, right under where you sit when you drive the sucker down the road. Do a search, there as a thread that showed and described the procedure pretty darn good.

Its an every 30K mile maintenance item. Don't worry about going to get motocraft, the original one I removed was made by wix.
