How many miles on the truck Robert?

 

[powerboatr]

19,000 ish 1k on new filters
there was a tsb on hfcm but my modle doens fall in the range of suspected units?

different year models but mine had a chronic WIF light issue several years back. Completely draining the bowl and cleaning the inside thoroughly fixed it. Might be a simple thing to try rather than let the dealer boobs tell you they cant reproduce it after keeping it for a week.

WIF = WTF

One bad load of fuel can saturate a filter supposedly.

Do you think you got a bad load? Doesn't make sense that nothing is coming out.

You need a Racor 900FH!

rooster,
I hate to open her up and find that the load was bad, got fuel at to many stations to pin one down.
plus i may use this as an excuse to get me a fathersday present
a filter thats easy to drain, without crawling under the truck, wife was driving when it came on a few times and she was cussing me, when isaid "hey your driving, you drain the filter"
of course i drained it, but the remarks were worth the looks

You need that new style drain plug. Makes draining HFCM a piece of cake.
Somebody here should have the part number.
I wish I had one.
