I want to install it myself. How do I do it...what tools will I need. It is a 1999 Chevy Silverado Z71.

Easy fix, man. Don't stress! The FPR is located just above the driver's side valve cover about midway. It's only held on by a clip that you can remove without any tools and only has a vacuum hose attached to it.
Look at your new FPR, notice that it has a plastic screen and an 'O' ring, make sure that they both come out with the old FPR before you put the new one in.
Reinstall the new one, push the clip into place, re-attach the vacuum hose, check for tools, slam hood and your done!! Literally 5 minute job if your not in a hurry and stop for a Coke.
Good luck!
