    I always use a 5/8 flare nut wrench with the 20mm wrench.A very plugged up fuel filter is one cause of a fuel pump failure.Some 2004 GMs don't have a fuel filter,seen this with a 2004 GMC Savanna van.Amazon is going to be cut off by Dorman sometime.Dorman is not liking that they are not selling their products at Dorman's prices.Found this out from an Auto Value auto parts store rep last week,he received a notice from Dorman and it shown Amazon on the list.

      You are correct... Never use an open end wrench on a fuel line! Eventually you will regret it. Flare nut wrench... Always!

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to use a 16 mm line wrench on the fuel line side to prevent the chance of rounding the nut off

  • @JackRR15
    @JackRR15 7 років тому +2

    It's easy to understand when to change the filter based on the owner's manual but what if you buy a new car and you don't know when it was last changed? Like, should you change everything, coolant, fuel filter, oil change? If the car was running ok and whatnot

    • @doityourselfbri
      @doityourselfbri  7 років тому +2

      Good Question... I recommend taking a sample of each one of the fluids and compare to what the fluid looks like compared to new fluid... Lightly discolored is okay, however if the fluid is severely discolored than its probably safe to change it... As far as the fuel filter its a little harder to say, take a look at the fuel filter and check to see if it looks really old, change it, if it looks shiny then its probably ok to leave it.

    • @JackRR15
      @JackRR15 7 років тому

      Yeah, I do check the coolant color and grit that's a good indication. But things that you can't see, I guess like you said you just look at the part.

    Heads up: There are 2 different fuel filters for a 2006. Chevy changed the system half way through 2006. What you are seeing here is what is needed for the first half of the year. The newer filter is much different. And harder to change.

    • @socalcaiman
      @socalcaiman 4 роки тому

      I’m not sure when. What I have noticed in my part of the world (So California) is that there tends to be more 1500s than other models. As these trucks get up in mileage with the years, I suspect that more maintenance will be given and folks will be looking at videos like yours to conduct those services.. I did. Unfortunately, in my case I ordered a fuel filter on line which I can’t return now for full credit without paying return shipping.

      Purchase a super expensive wrench to remove something you probably won’t touch for another 100k miles lol
      You should put anti seize on the threads too since it’s a metal on metal connection to protect against corrosion
