Looking to change out the fuel filter on my 05 gmc duramax/allison. Looking for tips on it, I have heard there are things that makes the job easier.

Thanks in advance.

The forum search feature should also yield more info..

I have a logon to this website, what else do I need to access the link you posted? It prompts me for a password.

Hope this helps .. personally I prefer removing the fender liner for clear access to the filter ..

In each truck we run is a spare Delco filter, a red wrench for removing the water sensor, and a set of mechanix gloves. Its all you need, if you don't reef on the filter when re-installing...hand tight on, prime, start the truck and watch for leaks...the wrench can be turned upside down, allowing for two-handed operation of the primer, which can make for sore fingers to operate by hand - especially in cold temps.

Here's another option for the WIF wrench .. I use a Lisle 34350 (http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/lis34350.html) ... also available on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lisle-Tools-34350-Water-Sensor-Wrench_W0QQitemZ250402673387QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMot ors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item3a4d2992eb)
