      Update: I did the fuel filter change today. I had no issues whatsoever. This was the first time I changed this newer style square fuel filter. My previous Powerstroke had the round internal cartridge. It wasn't any harder or easier to change vs my prior 6.7. The only difference is that I have an 8' bed and the fuel filter location is on the side of the fuel tank, (on the driver side of the truck), under the bed, not under the cab.

    My truck has a fuel tank protector that kind of gets in the way of the bolts on that side. I dropped my socket in there. After taking out two bolts that hold skid plate in I got my socket and also it made it easier to get fuel filter bolts out. I didn't take the whole thing off , just two bolts on drivers side Also mine wouldn't stop draining so I did what I used to on my 2011, I broke the seal by loosening the bolts on the fuel filter to stop the siphoning action! Good informative video. Keep them coming!

    That first connector to the upper fuel filter closest to the cab is a 2 stage. You are correct. All the way out is to remove it. One click in from there, the middle, is where you want the locking clip to be for installing the fuel line. I've haven't seen a video explain that yet. Other than that, this is a very good video explaining everything very well.
    I work at an assembly plant building ford trucks. I was there when ford starting using this style fuel line connector.

    Quick question, why did you prime the system after replacing the primary fuel filter vs. Replacing the primary first then immediately after replace the secondary fuel filter... then purge all the air out of the fuel system after both after been replaced??

    • @OldSoulMillennial
      @OldSoulMillennial  7 місяців тому

      Purging the system after each filter minimizes the instruction of air in the fuel lines. Have you ever tried to purge an older diesel with air in the fuel lines? Pita. My method works.
      The method you described may work just as well.

      @OldSoulMillennial this is my first diesel and first time replacing both filters on my truck. I'm familiar with gas engines which obviously only have 1 filter so I was wondering if you could replace both without purging. The more I researched, the more it appeared to be an industry standard to purge after each filter replacement for a reason. Appreciate your response

      @@Jmsrestomods4824 You got it. Another tip, some have reported that when they replaced their fuel filters with a full tank, sometimes opening that yellow pet-cock causes a siphon effect. Thus may drain the fuel tank.

    Great instructional video however it made me feel so much happier that I went with the 7.3 Godzilla option on my 2021 F-350 STX. I agree with you that over time those plastic lines & locking tabs will become brittle and be a cause for concern. On the downside for me is my Diesel Kubota BX tractor has two fuel filters also! One underside and another in the engine compartment. So I cannot escape the diesel fuel filter Chaos entirely! Lol 😂

    • @OldSoulMillennial
      @OldSoulMillennial  2 роки тому +1

      Don't forget you still have fuel filters on that 7.3 as well! Diesel fuel filter replacement isn't a big deal. The biggest thing is priming the system by removing the air. Cycling the key fully primed the fuel system on my truck. Started right up with no sputters or stalls. On older diesels, sometimes you would have to crack an injector line while someone is cranking the engine to bleed out the air of the fuel system. Or just shoot up the intake with starting fluid and hope you don't blow the head lol

      Well, all these manufacturers want you to have your services done at the dealer. I strongly believe that's why they are making serviceable components more of a hassle to replace.

      There should be a spin on filter for eveything. Ram has easy fuel filters, but they buried the oil filter.

    Waste of money every other oil change.

    Worst design ever, I thought the 6.4 fuel filter was bad
