Be careful on ordering from Amazon. I bought one at a slightly better price and it said genuine GM but it wasn’t. It was some third party. I returned it and put a negative comment for others. Some may not care if it’s not a genuine GM, but for me, especially while under warranty, I want the real deal so if there’s a problem they can’t blame a third party filter. Just my 2 cents.
The aluminum aftermarket cap has a much different thermal coefficient of expansion than the plastic one. I wonder if this would put additional stress on the plastic mating piece in really hot or cold conditions? I left mine filter system stock but am interested in the RunVSE fuel saver filter system.
I guess I overtightened my cap last time or didn’t lubricate the o ring enough. But I can not get the cap off. I can’t even get it to budge. Tried socket, filter wrench, and strap wrench. It will not budge. Not even a little.
My ‘23 AT4 won’t prime. I just get the chimes forever. Finally I just decided to start it and it started and ran just fine but there is a sand-hitting-metal sound coming from the gas tank-kind of an air bubble sound but small bubbles. Is there something different about the ‘23s or the GMCs?
I am new to the diesel engines. The way you were demonstrating on removing the fuel filter, I don’t have to take out the whole housing like you did on this video correct? It’s basically like changing the oil filter,. All I have to do is just go underneath and remove the bottom cap and change the filter ?
Seems like the aluminum cap would be better for random rocks/road debris. I would love a run vse but have a few filters on hand I will use first. Keep ‘em coming!
36 mm 6 point socket and use a little bit of Vaseline on the O-ring
I went to order the fuel filter housing from the link you have attached, and it reflects its for a L5P. Does this fuel filter housing work on the LZO?
When you say hold is that just a good press or actually hold for 5 seconds? First time Duramax owner
What would cause them to piss fuel out after a change? I think I may have crimped the o ring or something. The first time I did mine it dumped fuel everywhere... I took it back off and moved the o ring around the grove and then it was fine no leaks after that...
I really appreciate your page. I did my own Fuel Filter change thanks to you and your awesome videos. The klik wrench you recommended helped as well. Thank you!
Thanks man! Great detailed vids!
Thank you for the work you do.
Thanks!
I always got a tiny drip on my 6.6 fuel filter through the cap o-ring. Tiny bit of Vaseline on the o-ring stopped it though.
Great break down, love the puppy pee pad for a spill pad
Notice on
I may try the metal housing since it is a cyber deal on Amazon right now. I wish that you would have tightened the metal one all the way. I assume it is the same torque specs?
can you possibly show how the drain works on the end cap of the fuel filter? if i had done that last fuel filter change it would not have been as messy as it was. i changed at 25k miles and it was pretty dark. i think 30k as GM says it a bit long, next one ill do at the 20k interval
Any else have issues resetting fuel filter life
