Home Oil Change and a bunch of other random questions

[Meanwhile]

From 2000 to 2008 I worked for a guy who did all of his truck work and I'd help him on the weekends. Now I'm trying to remember how to do a lot of things. I never planned of buying a truck so taking a company job, I did a big "Memory Dump".

I was taught to prefill the filters. We also used a punch to put a hole in the bottom of the filters to drain what we could before pulling them off. A small bucket or a large coffee can usually caught everything.

I put a quick release drain plug in my oil pan so that I could drain it into buckets or jugs easier until I can get a big enough drain pan.

I too have the 2250 and I cannot get a full fuel filter between the engine and frame rail without spilling fuel. (I should've checked that before I tried)
