I swapped out my OEM oil drain plug for a Raney E-Z Drain valve (straight - the 90 degree elbow is not necessary) so no more removing the plug. Just “unlock” the valve and open it 90 degrees to drain the oil. Great addition. Keep up the good work. 👍
So this is for any one in the future, you don’t have to pull the wheel well out, go from your driver side battery and work through, go around your hood strut, just did this today and you can do it with out taking the wheel well out but I found it easier putting it back in through under tje hood
Great video Thank you fro taking time, love the safety glasses!
Haha very important to protect the eyes
Loosen The “ White Cap With Hose “ On The Bottom Of The Filter To Drain Fuel Into Bottle
I never lube o ring with diesel as it dries it will make it harder to remove the housing. use white grease or engine oil
Nice video, i saw others use a bottle or a longer hose to catch that diesel from the drain.
Yes most definitely!
I fought for 2 days with no luck, bought extra ratchets, extensions etc. Got help and with 2 of us got the fuel filter loose. 77000 k and not sure if it was factory or not, I do know I never changed it. Once my filter was on the drain plug was 3/4 turn shirt of being at the rear of engine. I had a oil pan plug stripped, nothing was said at the dealer about it, next oil change I did and noticed the oil plug was stripped. Don’t like going to dealers even for free oil changes.
That sounds like a pain, and you don't ever know what will happen in the shop these days. I'm glad you got fixed up though!
Thanks for watching!
This dude looks like he likes to party lol.
So you put 3 full jugs of the t4 in? Did I hear that correctly? Thanks.
Don't forget to grease front driveline every oil change
What base are you guys stationed at? I actually miss barracks life a little, thanks for taking me back in time for a bit!😁
Was at Pendleton

I would get a remote Cat fuel filter system....
Why do you go with that system?
Does that year of truck not have a rear fuel filter ? Is it just the front one ?
Just the front and I actually deleted the factory fuel filter
@@curbsidemechanics3040 if you don’t mind me asking what type of system did you install? Is the factory one not that good compared to yours? Appreciate the help btw not a lot of info on trucks of this year. I have a 2008 5500 and use it for car hauling so trying to make sure I give it proper maintenance to prevent anything major from messing up. Also where do you usually order your parts, I find that Amazon usually has parts for newer models only. So I usually resort to O'Reilly.
I installed an Airdog 165GPH and did a fuel filter delete kit and I love it better mpg and you can rest assured your fuel system is getting fuel. Also installed a fuel sump on bottom of the tank
Also I buy a lot from xtreme diesel performance
How often should you change your fuel filter every old change every other old change??
I would do every other oil change for a factory setup
My ‘07.5 owner’s manual says 7,500 for oil and filter and 15,000 for fuel filter, so I do the fuel filter every other oil & filter change (at 7,000 miles just to be a little on the safe side). I also do my tire balance and rotations (Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 33x12.5x17) every 7,000 and I currently at 58,000 miles on the tires with likely another 8,000-10,000 before replacement.

What’s the part number on that mopar oil filter?
MO283
Correction MO285**
Thank you brother!
It's easier if you pull the front wheel off
I have never tried that!
@@curbsidemechanics3040 I just changed mine on Saturday and removing the front tire and inner plastic fender gave me alot more working clearance
Shirt dirty and nothing done yet?
White shirt I might add??
*watches 3 UA-cam videos just to record his first time doing it himself
