Great video but what or how do you drain the frame rail filter, you can hear it draining but you didnt show it in the video where it's coming from????

There is a water drain on the side of the HFCM on the passenger side of the unit, toward the front. It takes a 6mm allen (hex) wrench to remove the plug. What I do is remove the plug to start to drain the HFCM, then I loosen the lid on the secondary fuel filter. This allows the HFCM and the Secondary fuel bowl to drain, to help with the mess it makes. You will get some spillage, but not too bad.

What you are describing is not the FICM but the HFCM (Horizontal Fuel Condition Mod), the guy with the fuel filter in it. The FICM is totally electronic and sits on a valve cover.

Sorry about that. Yes there is a drain plug on the side on the 6.0l HFCM, pull her and let her drain while you unscrew the filter cap. Here is a picture
