Thanks for the Video. Just took on a bad tank of fuel and hoping this will resolve my problems. I went to my owners manual and they indicate the heater module on the side of the filter is removed before pulling the cap. You obviously didn't have a problem so I don't know why that would have to be done. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video man. I have a 2005 3500 at 515000kms engine was rebuilt at 492500 do to crazy Larry setting... Lesson learned!!!! But I am still running original tranny, it's slowly letting go... I would like to put in the new 8 speed
Thank you for the video. The dealer way over tightened mine and i was worried maybe i was doing something wrong trying to get the cap plastic cap off. I recently went to a different fuel station, soon after my "water in fuel light came on". just by draining the fuel filter housing, i got 1/3 cup of water out of it! i'll be checking mine more often. thanks again.
Thank you. Took me 15min I was lucky enough I had a hose big/small enough to actually fit inside the drain line. I’ll actually keep up with changing these regularly now that I know it’s simple as F.. the first one was horrible 🤦🏼♂️
I'll be replacing mine later in the week when it warms up a little. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins 4x4 and it just started acting sluggish when I hit the pedal. We just took it out this evening and instead of easing off with the pedal I floored it and it didn't ram up. Instead, the check engine light came on. Fortunatelly, I have a blue-tooth scanner and I hooked it up when I got the WaWa and it read a P0148 Fuel Delivery Malfunction. I'm hoping that the source of my problem is the fuel filter. I haven't changed this thing EVER. It is overdue I'm sure considering I have 130k miles on the truck. Thank you for the video.
Couple of things. You can prime the filter canister with Sea foam or diesel fuel, no need to prime with ignition. Also if you clean your engine it will run better :)
tim harmon I’ve heard of this. Good video on it here. ua-cam.com/video/544E_X2oUgM/v-deo.html I haven’t tried it though. Partly just because it scares me to try anything unconventional that isn’t straight out of the manual. I’m fairly new to diesel. The thought of self inducing a $5K+ injector job has me afraid to try anything new. Thoughts?
Nevermind. I thought it was a water fuel separator on the filter but that does not come till later Rams. The reason to drain it is to remove the pressure and diesel from the filter in a controlled way to a catch basin under the truck instead of splashing it all over your engine compartment when doing the filter change.
I've heard that the 2 micron is best as well but I think you have to buy an adapter kit to switch to the CAT 2 micron filters. At least that's what I'm going to do when I get my cummins.
The last two times I changed my fuel filter on my '03 Dodge it takes tremendous effort to pull the filter off the stem, in fact I pulled the top off of a new filter because it also would not go all the way easily so I wanted to pull it an see what the problem was. I can't figure it out. It will come out easily for about and inch then it sticks. What is happening here?
+Dylan Ray It's what your ECM thinks your oil pressure is at. The cummins trucks do not have a real oil pressure gauge from the factory, it's just a calculation with engine temp & rpm.
That reply doesn't sound correct, I'm not a tech but have been around engine enough to know that when you first start your engine, the oil is cold creating the higher pressure. Cold oil is thick, they pouring oil into your engine in the winter. Oil pressure goes down when the engine is heated up along with the oil, which lowers the oil pressure.
Nothing comes out of mine and won't start what do I do next.. scanner shows 105 fuel pressure and line pressure at 4950 to 5100 psi... Has good ect and cam and crank signal
Did you film this during an earthquake?? Or do you have the shakes because you need a drink? This is the worst video I have ever seen and Thank god you work on nothing I own! You can dump a cup full of fuel back in the cannister and it will light up.
Thank you for this. Just bought a 06 5.9 cummins with 147k miles and looking forward to doing proper maintenance to it.
Finally, a decent film on this small task. Thanks!
ty. thanks for watching and posting
My Chilton or Haynes either on tell me how to do this .
Very good video. Socket size and tubing mentioned. Thank you sir!
Would pf been super funny if some red fuel started pouring out😂 thank you for the vid!
Just a quick tip, if you crack the seal and take off the cover before draining, it actually drains faster.

You move a lot but man thanks so much I was able to do mine with just by looking at this video it’s very detailed

Nice vid man, heading out to my 03 to do it now. Thanks!
I can't get the filter out
@@joshuaniman8234it will be snug in there gotta give it a good pull!
Thank you. Took me 15min

the first one was horrible 🤦🏼♂️
Nice video. FWIW, the torque specs on that canister lid is 24ft lbs. Mine will leak if it's not torqued.
Now I know how to do a fuel filter change for whenever I buy a 5.9 thanks btw that is a mighty fine truck ya got there
Thank you so much for that video. It was exactly what I needed and I love to listen to Jamey Johnson.

U Do It was that the problem ? Same same thing happened to me last night
Good vid love the horn at the end !!!!lol
Great video great music !!!
Great video brother! Thanks for sharing
JUSTIN MOORE!!! Good video bud
Perfect not too much bla bla and show off here is your like good man 👍🏼
Thanks! You guys must be in Arizona? November in the 80s
Nice video, thanks for taking the time to share. That is very helpful. Peace, Reese

If your saying his engine is dirty you should see mine 😂
Thanks, i figured it was that easy.
Is that the only fuel filter? Or is there one in the rear also??
Thank you for sharing. I think i have an injector issue but this hasn't been changed since Idk when so I will try this first
Great video thanks for sharing
Mine has 2 fuel filters.
Thank you.. i was curious how much torque and if u put fuel along the filter gasket.. i do that with the oil filter..
I have a gen 3 5.9 Cummins. It runs like it’s catching air somewhere. Will a bad fuel filter cause that?
Great video!!! But that engine could use a good wash. Just clean it when its cold not hot. Thanks for sharing!!!
yep its a truck, check out the new truck its clean. ohhhh yea its brand new
Thanks for your video
*VERY helpful! thanks for putting this up* Question should this be done with every oil change?
I would say it wouldn’t hurt anything
Good stuff, thanks.
Very nice. Thank you
Awesome. Thanks.
Thx migo ✌🏽
Aren't you draining the water from the fuel filter not the diesel?
Nevermind. I thought it was a water fuel separator on the filter but that does not come till later Rams. The reason to drain it is to remove the pressure and diesel from the filter in a controlled way to a catch basin under the truck instead of splashing it all over your engine compartment when doing the filter change.
Thanks Man
Good video, great fucking taste in music too buddy👍
do you use the 2 micron filter or just OEM(7 i think)? i've heard that the 2 micron is the best for the common rail
I've heard that the 2 micron is best as well but I think you have to buy an adapter kit to switch to the CAT 2 micron filters. At least that's what I'm going to do when I get my cummins.
That is correct the best filter you can buy for stock is Baldwin 5 micron
On mine I have to fill the filter housing with diesel for my truck to start after a fuel filter replacement
I lost the ring that goes around the Housing and put the filter back like that... should I buy a new filter and use the ring?
good video
thank you !
The last two times I changed my fuel filter on my '03 Dodge it takes tremendous effort to pull the filter off the stem, in fact I pulled the top
off of a new filter because it also would not go all the way easily so I wanted to pull it an see what the problem was. I can't figure it out. It will come out easily for about and inch then it sticks. What is happening here?
5/8 od does it matter what the id is?
What is the inside diameter of the tubing used?
5/8 outside diameter
What is that line that is connected to the bottom of the filter?? Mine is not connected to anything
any fuel separators?
Which filter did you go with.sorry if it was stated in the video and I missed it
I choose WIX
When I first start my o3 5.9. The oil pressure runs at like 70 psi. THEN Comes Down To 40 After Driving For A While. Why is that.
+Dylan Ray It's what your ECM thinks your oil pressure is at.

My filter doesn’t look that way any help?
All good. But never honk a horn on horseplay when someone's under the hood . That fan blade in that 5.9 will break a finger guaranteed
Why did you drain it ? Cant you just unread the cap and swap filters also less chance of having a pain in the ass to start it afterwards
This is true!!!
Nothing comes out of mine and won't start what do I do next.. scanner shows 105 fuel pressure and line pressure at 4950 to 5100 psi... Has good ect and cam and crank signal
Fill your filter housing with diesel, about half way. Then prime it pike in the video and try again. If not, it could be something else more serious
We just changed it according to your video amd the truck won't turn on. I watched the video again and again.
Fill your filter housing with diesel, that's what happened to me too
But not all the way, just like 1/2 or a little more than half
Nice
how many miles do you wait between changes
Tim Dailey better to do it by the hours
Tim Dailey Was just reviewing my manual on 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, says to do this every 60k miles on normal and 30k on severe/commercial.
I usually do mine every 3rd oil change but I live in dusty Arizona.
MON3yEqualPower dust dont effect your fuel filter, im pretty sure you ment air filter.
Every oil change is cheap insurance
Jesus loves you all
My husband and I did the exact same thing but now it won’t start, it’ll turn but won’t start🥲
Fill the filter housing with diesel, not all the way but like half or a little over half
The content is good, but the camera is UNWATCHABLE.
Tubing?? Lol let it hit the dirt...
That's about a good $1 diesel right there 😅

I use a 4' extension on a swivel.
