Appreciate the video showing the installation process. Being new to diesel engines and weekend mechanic, this will help me with the do's and don'ts installing this fuel system.
Thanks for posting this install. I have a 2023 Sierra SLT with the LZ0 and am thinking about this mod. especially considering the fuel these days! I do have an IDASH which I mostly use to keep up with the REGENS and other parameters. When you change out the fuel filters for this new rig it would be nice to cut them open and see what’s inside.😮
Got mine installed today and like you said always good to double check tightness from the manufacturer, my water separator adapter was loose and the inner o-ring wasn’t on the housing already so I missed it and had a leak after installing mine, until I looked closely at your video I had no idea it was missing because the instructions don’t mention it
I've pre ordered mine. Hope it doesn't take too long to get it.
Interesting stock fuel filter setup. I'm actually surprised, I just did the fuel filters on my Canyon and it has two, not just one, in the housing. That said, this looks like an amazing upgrade that I'll have to do to my new truck at some point.
Nice video. I have an LM2 but see they have a kit for it also... Just wondering ...towards the end of your video after you check for leaks you show a view of the kit looking straight in on the kit. Not so worried about the filters maybe being a little lower than the bottom of the frame rail but it looks like the top of the conductivity probe housing and the fuel outlet block are a good bit closer to the bottom of the cab. May not be but looks that way. Hopefully there is enough clearance to allow for any cab movement.
it will be a little bit easier to get the black goo from the frame in the fuel system with the filters off. I just ordered one and a PPE oil pan
Thank you
I literally just told Tom that instructions are only for when stuff goes wrong lol.
Also VSE sent me a complimentary set of Baldwin filters as they have had a lot of issues with the Donaldson filters leaking.
On more question, what would be the filter change interval? I idle a lot during the summer so would I have to change it based on engine hours? Also will the fuel filter guage on the truck still be accurate?
Quick question that little hose with the wire connection to the right of the filters, it that the fuel pressure sensor?
Enjoyed the video, don’t sweat the extension 90% of the vehicles on the road probably have a 10mm socket stowed away on them somewhere lol.
After putting almost 100,000 miles on my 2021 3.0l and all the time it has been in the shop I’ll be going gas 3/4 ton or 1 ton with out cylinder deactivation
Do you feel like this install is necessary? Or just replacing the plastic cover with a metal cover so you don't round off the plastic nut and running a k&n filter is just as good? Thank you for all the videos!
Great video! Helped a lot replacing my OEM with a new OEM. I was a dumbass installing a new filter and had to replace the whole thing.
I assume now that you'll replace both filters now at the same time going forward? Considering this truck and just researching as this would be my first diesel. I wonder what other filters from other mfgs are available if Donaldson discontinues those? I'm glad to see that its not hard to prime the diesel fuel system yourself now so this can be done in the garage. Thanks for the video.
Update: after installing the forward Donaldson filter sprayed fuel. Replaced with a Napa PN 3626 with sealed correctly.
Your video should make the transfer from the factory setup to VSE's much simpler. Thank you. I have one on order. I have never felt the factory setup was sufficient. I have a question about your secondary filter. The literature shows a Donaldson P551315 or a Cat 1R-0751. The filter I see installed on your unit is a Donaldson P550638. Please clarify.
Nice install, but you lose the protective shroud. I know you don’t keep vehicles for long and warranty isn’t an issue for you, but how might this affect a typical owner and warranty issues that might arise? But I really like the idea of double and higher quality filtration, especially here in illinois where I hear our diesel is the crappiest.
