Is that what I should do then? And if I do end up releiving it at the schrader valve, do I just push on the valve stem looking thing with a screwdriver or something? Or do I need a tool to screw onto those threads? I have the little round plastic tools for the fuel line fittings, so I'm at least set with that. Undoing the fuel filter from the rain might help out some, thanks. Hope you can help me with my other questions...

When you find the inertia switch disconnect the plug from it. You can't pull up on the red button because it's recessed. Just pull the plug and start the truck and let it run out of fuel in the lines. Then change your filter. Be VERY careful with the fuel line attachments when you are undoing them from the filter. Make sure the little tool fits right and don't press too hard or you'll damage the little spring retainers on the inside and it'll end up in the shop to get sawn off and replaced. Been there, done that. After you've replaced the filter plug the connector back into the switch, prime the fuel lines a couple times (turn the key over to activate the pumps, you'll hear them turn on, but don't try to start it) and then start the truck. Check for leaks and then you're done. have fun
