Inside frame rail on the drivers side. About under the 2nd row seats.

The pump is in the tank as well as the filter. The manual for my 2011 EL states "Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed." Why would they say that if there was something else you would periodically need to replace?

I know the pump is in the tank. The sock filter is connected to the end of it. Because they're not referring to the external filter. And I've heard of mechanics trying to tell people the filter in the tank needs to be replaced. Think the last quote I heard for that one was $300.

Could someone post me a picture of this "sock filter"? I have a 2011 and I am at my wits end.....2 Ford Dealers contradicted themselves and first said it was a $65 replace....then said O no, it was a $600+ fuel pump/ filter replace. Then, I was told by someone else....that the 2011 was the "change over year" for the fuel filter going from being on it's own, to being in with the fuel pump. That without looking at it, it couldn't be confirmed which one I have.

Crawl under the truck on the driver side and look for the fuel tank. I can't remember if the filter is in front or behind the tank. But if you look around the tank you'll see a silver canister with hoses connected. That's the filter that needs to be replaced. The sock filter only needs to be replaced if the pump goes bad.

Thank You so much.
My husband is a mechanic in the Army and hasn't had time to look into it for me because of Army training. I have been having trouble with stalling on low idle.
Only when I have to start/stop frequently in traffic and when going around 5-10 mph...such as in a parking lot. Other than that, there are no issues at all.
I idle as low as 500 RPM.
So the Hubs and some other guys in the Motor Pool all said that it had to be the filter OR the Idle Speed Control.
I have no engine light and even the diagnostic tool at Auto Zone can't pull up anything. It is do for Spark plugs too, that is on the list.
I purchased the fuel filter already.
I called Ford today because I was hoping to get my hands on a diagram. First I was told $65 easy change to that it was "impossible that I purchased a fuel filter for my 2011 because they don't exist. That the filter was part of the pump."

It's probably due for the full tune up. Mine idles at 500rpm as well and I don't have an issue with stalling. There is no separate idle control motor on these trucks. Because it's a throttle by wire the idle is controlled through the throttle blades. It's not a hard job. You don't even have to jack the truck up to get under it.

Just out of curiosity, does the issue happen when not using the air conditioning?

YES and NO on if it stalls with the air on. I do notice when driving it that it helps a little to turn it down when I am stopping. It doesn't make that much difference.
Here is what my Hubs, Joe, and son did so far..... changed the spark plugs, air filter, cleaned throttle body and there was a lot of buildup on the throttle plate, and ALOT of Sea Foam....It has become Joe's favorite thing.
He is putting a lot of it in the vacuum lines.
Seems to run better but harder at the same time. That is the best way to describe it. Not in a bad way.
The stall is still there.

What is a fuel tuneup???

Never heard of that one.
There's no reason to run Seafoam through all the vacuum lines. It just needs to be run through a big one like the brake booster line.
On my 07 EL the fuel filter is right in front of the tank. It has 3 lines running to it. You'll need the fuel/ac line disconnect tools to get the lines off of the filter. I know this b/c I just changed mine this past weekend.
*Also - VERY IMPORTANT* Make sure you release the pressure from the fuel lines before attempting to change out the filter.

Had my 2014 on the lift today so I looked for my fuel filter. I could not find one (at least not what I was expecting). So I looked in my owners manual and it says that 2014 has a life time fuel filter in the tank and should not need replacing under normal use.
Check your manual.
Check your manual.
That's interesting. I guess at some point in the past 7 years FoMoCo changed it up. Anyone know what MY the change occurred?

Nope. Built into the fuel pump.
