Yea, you have to drop the tank and take apart the fuel pump assembly to replace the filter

I read the Chiltons manual and I thought it said it's on the driver's side rear framerail,but my Chiltons only goes up to a '98.I thought the '98-'99 are pretty much the same.

Agreed, I was offered a 97 for the same price as a 96. I chose the 96 for certain reasons. Fuel filter being one.
