All 2004 and up GM trucks have the fuel filter in the tank. I can't remember if the 2003 trucks had it in the tank too.

With the regulator being in the tank the fuel filter has to go before the regualtor in order to maintain proper pressure. If the filter was after it and it started to clog then you would starve the engine of fuel and go 
.....eventually
Non-return systems suck for any serious HP. I'm converting to return system Monday.

I know it can't be as simple as running a return line and puting the fuel pressure regulator back up on the fuel rail, Please take pictures and post up a how to,
