Did a little research. Most sites are saying that it's under the vehicle kind of underneath the driver. Odd placement for it.
Begining in the 2006 module year, General motors placed the fuel filter INSIDE the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump/sending module assembly. Fuel filters on 2006 and newer GM trucks are NOT serviceable seperatly from the fuel pump assembly.
I asked a GMC dealer in Mobile and was told that the fuel filter on the 4.6 engine was located on the frame just in front of the gas tank.On all other trucks the fuel filter is located in the gas tank. The 4.6 is the only one that is located outside the gas tank. However, so far I have not been able to locate it.
