NOTE:

Inspect and clean the housing if dirt or debris is

present before replacing the air filter element.

assembly with the air cleaner filter inspection surface

facing downward.

2. Install the air cleaner cover onto the housing assembly

locating tabs.

3. Install screws to secure the air cleaner cover to the

housing assembly.

Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter

There are two fuel filter assemblies. One is located on the

driver’s side of the engine. The best access to this water

drain valve is from under the hood. The second one is on

the under body, located in front of the rear axle above the

drive shaft on pick-up models. The Chassis Cab models

second filter location is on the frame behind the front

axle. The best access to this water drain valve is from

under the vehicle.

CAUTION!

Do not drain the fuel/water separator filters when

the engine is running.

Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.

Drain the filters into an appropriate container.

If water is detected in the water separator while the

engine is running, or while the ignition switch is in the

ON position, the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will

illuminate and an audible chime will be heard five times.

At this point you should stop the engine and drain the

water from both of the filters.
