Rough idle, sluggish when accelerating, bogs down.
Trying to replace this myself just need to know what to do.

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
