This truck does not have an inline fuel filter. It actually has two filters but not a traditional inline filter.

It has a strainer on the pump and then a filter in the regulator. I attached the info below on all of this.

However, you could be correct that this is a fuel issue so we need to start with checking the pressure.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Please run through this material and let us know if you have other questions and what you find. Thanks
