I used this video last year to change my filters on my 2019 and it worked flawlessly! I also ordered that part you broke from the same place in Florida off of ebay as a "just in case". Fortunately i did not need it (as of yet!). I am getting ready to change out the filters again, so I watched this video again as a refresher! I salute you sir!
Good luck!
I've watched several of the 6.7 Powerstroke fuel filter replacement videos on UA-cam. Yours is the first one I have found that was worth a flip. Good job and thanks for being honest about breaking your fitting. The only thing I could add to you video is placing a shop rag under the fittings on the filter under the hood before removing them. Again, great job with your video.
Thank you so much and that is a great tip as well!!!
5-28-24. I am not too mechanical inclined. My first time ever to change fuel filters on my 2017 F250 diesel. This video was very easy to follow and right on. There were two areas that were a little more for me. There was a lot more diesel drainage from the bottom filter than the video indicates. And, for me, the blue clip on the top filter gave me the most trouble to disengage. But for sure a thumbs up on the video
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Just did mine this morning, the tip on pushing the side tabs on the return line connector was money. Appreciate it. I cycled my pumps 8 times and had a small amount of noise but it started right up. Appreciate you!
Good deal! Glad it helped.
Great how to video! Nice SuperDuty! We have the 6.0 PowerStroke in our 2005 F350. 15 years later, we finally have all the bugs worked out (knock on wood), and it's been reliable.
Ha! I feel ya! Thanks very much!
that fuel filter is like a bop-it game (push it, twist it, pull it)
EXACTLY!!!
Excellent video! I love instructional videos... watched the whole thing even when I don't have a Ford.
Awe thanks Francisco!
Love the various things you cover in your videos. Can't wait to meet you in May. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
Thanks Jennifer! The Reunion is gonna be a blast! See you then!
Geeckers, that is a beautiful truck!! I enjoyed watching the replacements. Thanks Tim😁👍
Thanks 👍 so much Lilah!
Thank you I did this to my 2019 for the first time per this video!! Went great !
Fantastic!
Great video!
Thanks!
Your videos are always great! Nice truck!
Thanks 👍 I appreciate that. I hope to keep improving!
Thank you Time,
What a great helpful video I would’ve most likely damage my connections if it wasn’t for this great video.
Thanks Tim
I’m so glad it was helpful!
I wish I would have watched your video first. The one I watched didn't explain this for the return line and I broke it off. Did a McGuyver repair to get it home and order a new clip.I think my McGuyver fix might be better! lol Use a piece of 3/8 fuel line with 2 hose clamps. It fits over the barb on the filter and fits over the hose with the broken barb still in it so the clamp doesn't collapse the fuel line. Tightened both clamps and drove it home. Nice video. Thanks
Nice job! Yeah it’s a booger for sure. Thx.
Good video! you didn't waste alot of time and its easy to understand!!
Glad it was helpful!
I went aftermarket on my 15. Air and fuel. Worth every penny.
Oh yeah!
Nice Truck Tim👍 it's a good to be knowledgeable when you own a diesel... good job Tim
For sure! Lots more to learn for me!
Great maintenance video!
Thanks!
My 17 is a tow vehicle in the desert. The oil and filter are changed every 5k. The air and fuel filters are changed every 10k. 81k, no issues. Some say that's a waste of money but it works for me. Used the same schedule on my previous truck...a Duramax. Nice job on the video.
Nice job! Thanks.
Beautiful truck, great video!
Thanks 👍
Great advice on the brown connector. I'm sure I would have broken it if I hadn't watched this video first.
Glad it helped!
Good job Ridge Life👍👍💙
Thank you!
Recently did this on our Zetor 7000, good times
For sure! Ha!
Great video Tim! Got er done🤙 -Josh
Thanks Josh!
You did good Tim! Nice truck!
Thank you Shannon!
Awesome video! Wish I would have found this earlier.I got 3/8 fuel line put it over the top stock fuel line with hose clamp and put two hose clamps on the return side of the filter until my part came.
Thanks! They sure make them flimsy.
Excellent video!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Excellent video
Thank you buddy!
I’m glad you got er goin!
Crazy how such a small thing will keep it down! Thx!
SPE makes a Billet Aluminum return line connector. an Awesome Fix for the cheap plastic piece.
Nice!
Great job 👍
Thank you Ann!
Very interesting...and the design is good, but they sure missed making that small piece for replacement then to purchasing the whole unit...those goofball engineers...yes I get to say that because I was an engineer for 20 years. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend 👍😁💗
HA! You got that right! Thx
That is a super clean truck. I'm a car person but that's a nice looking truck, Tim😁 Replacing the air filter every 30k like you recommend. Gotta get the hubatin to check my filter😆
Thanks Des! White stays clean ‘looking’ ha!
You can go back to your purchase history to find the store or link
Just responded. Tanks!
Good video Time!
Thank you sir!
I don't care for FORD but I watched you on high speed and it's was very entertaining! LOL
Ha!
Great Video buddy C'mon with the FordLife C'mon!!!
You know it! Thanks!
Very nice! I have a gasoline 2008 Ford F250 Flex fuel. I need to learn how to maintain it.
If maintained, these things will last a very long time!
I seen that classy off grid toilet you sent Ernie and now I want one lol 😂 I don’t have a big baller truck so I’m not gonna finish watching this one lol 😂 Still wanted to say have a blessed day Timmy 😄
Ha! Love it buddy!
Dorman 800-873 is the replacement fitting only. Lifetime replacement warranty through Advance Auto. getting mine in 3 days.
Very cool! Thx.
Had one person get frustrated replacing they're air filter I guess and decided to install it 180° in the other direction, so the pre-filter was on the fender side. Needless to say that air filter lasted all of a few thousand miles! 😃
Ouch!
SPE motosport has a great fix for this problem
What is it?
What's the link for the Florida Diesel Parts place for the return line fix? Nice video
Thanks,
Steve
Sorry. I got it off eBay some time ago.
FYI, my 2019 does not have a red connector on the right side fuel intake, but green with tabs on each side and 2 barbs that have to be pushed through to open the connector.
Ah. Good to know. This was 2017.
Hi Ridge, I have a 2018 Ford lariat 6.7 250. and I was leaking out of diesel under the tank near where I changed the fuel filter and I was wondering if it was because I didn't change it on time, I think I let it go longer than I should have.
Naw that shouldn’t effect it. If it’s near the cartridge, I’d check the seal.
Good video but DO NOT assume the fuel will stop running as you drain the fuel water separator! Mine kept running and filled a whole bucket while I walked away and wasted a couple gallons of fuel as I just drained it into an old dirty bucket as I thought it would only be a little. There was also a shower of fuel as I dropped the cartridge for the filter and got fuel all over my driveway. Take away....it did not stop flowing with valve open on the fuel/water separator so keep an eye on and close it up after a quart or so.
Very good point!!! Thx
Ya, I let it drain and walked away for a while and couldn't believe how much came out of the drain and then the dousing I got after dropping the cartridge. I am glad you mentioned the part about how careful you have to be with the return line!
Do u have any probles with the new adapter.. I read alot of bad comment about those amazon Quick connectors
So far, no! They said this was one taken from OEM assembly though.
Beautiful truck Tim. Just what trade did you learn to make a buck in the past.🥰👍
Thanks! I was a Nuclear Engineering Tech in the Navy before getting into Electrical Automation in the Steel Industry. I have been doing it for 23yrs.
What do you do with the fuel drained from the lower filter?
I add it to spent oil and use for fire starting. Shh!!!
A better 1st step I have found is remove fuel cap 1st. Otherwise you may get a lot more fuel dump than if removing cap 1st.
Good point! Thank you
@@RidgeLife Great Video!!
Thanks!
@@BillyHarrellH20 you’re saying to open the actual diesel fuel cap where you fill up, before releasing the water separator?
I’ve seen a lot of comments on other videos saying they’ve basically emptied multiple gallons out of their tank because a vacuum is or can be created. They’ve mentioned other more difficult solutions but you’re saying just open the fuel cap and that prevents the vacuum that leads to dumping unnecessary fuel?
Can you say where you got the new OEM part and part number. I wouldn’t mind getting one to have in hand.
Most from Amazon or Rock Auto. I showed the part numbers at the beginning. Sorry don’t have them offhand.
For the connector, I got it from eBay place in FL. Sorry. Don’t recall the vendor.
How many miles have you gone already with the new adapter? Thanks!
I’ve got 20k miles on it. I’m gonna get a spare just in case as I will be changing the filter again soon.
@@RidgeLife do you have a link to this item?
What is the trick to get the collar to open up. I dont want to break it
One pinches and one slides and the clamps
I know I broke it not knowing
So what do you do with the fuel you drain out?
I add to old oil to recycle or use to burn brush.
👍👍👍

To get past all the water draining stuff go ahead and sell you’re ford and get yourself a Cummins! 💪💥
