Fuel Filter
My son has a 06 5.4 with fuel filter on frame rail. When changing it is there anything special you have to do or can you just swap it out?

Here's a link to another forum where someone did a write up, I've done it twice on my 2006, not too hard. Just remember to depressurize, and even still there will be some gas in the lines, so have a drain pan/rags ready, and make sure there's no fire around.
I always depressurize the system by pulling the fuel pump fuse.

I believe the new fuel filter fixed a rough idle. I had a check engine light on that was reading as a misfire.

Thanks! This was a great link to use in changing the fuel filter. I did manhandle the blue clip and broke one side of it. It still works and I didn't have to replace it. I found the grey piece at Autzone. It came in a set of 6 or so for $10. Never would have known to get this piece without the instructions you gave. Much appreciated!
