IF you look at the rear filter fitting mounted on the truck when you take the filter off, there's a little ball valve up in there and inside the filter there is a little plastic nipple. That nipple pushes in that ball valve allowing the fuel into the filter. Because of this you don't have to worry about fuel running out when you change the filter,
Thank you! Very detailed made my first time easy! Appreciated the 3/8 I.D. tube idea! A little under a quart of diesel will be lost for the rear filter!
Really quite a good video edited well, showing all the steps, I liked the info on the filters micro rate that was awesome. I remember when Tier 3 engines came out OMG the issues with injector nozzles and filters on Isuzu and Hino engines 10 microns was a big improvement but 3 micron WOW.
Good video. After changing the filters when you power cycle, wait about a minute between each power cycle. Mine starts up after the third power cycle right away.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your video. If you put the extension up against the fire wall you can come down almost straight on to the top of the file filter lid.
Thanks for watching! That strap wrench is a Craftsman bought at a Sears store in 2002. I used it on my 2002 Dodge Cummins. It came in a 3 size set. Have a good one!
Hi Scott and thanks for watching! Dow 4 will work on both flat rubber type gaskets and o-rings. Manufacturers recommend using motor oil and that is certainly a good practice. Using motor oil or Dow 4 will not matter as long as the filter is not over tightened.
Very helpful video but I thought you might like to hear by dumb blunder. I didn’t triple check the o-ring on the front filter housing had set properly and I suspect you know what followed. I mean I did a hand check but had nitrile gloves on so I’m guessing I just didn’t register it… I feel like a big bumb a-hole and have a mess to clean from the driveway but still better than paying the dealership $$$. Also I reset the o-ring and thankfully everything was fine, though I ordered a new one to replace it before driving just to be sure… I’m dumb and thanks
Very easy to do what you did. That particular o-ring has a habit of wanting to ride low and beneath where it needs to be. You won't make that mistake again! Thanks for watching!
You don't need to drain the filter completely to take it off! Front or back. Thats just a waste of time. The truck will also tell you when it's time to change the filter. If you don't trust that then watch your fuel milage, when it starts to drop a few miles per gallon then change them. I usually change mine every oil change. I use full synthetic, so I change it at app. 15000 miles. I also prime the new filters before I install them. Doing this prevents any problems getting the air out of the system when trying to start the engine after the changes.
I have a 2018 Dodge Ram Cummins SLT I bought last year on Halloween 10/31/19 with only 12 thousand miles i have 18 thousand miles on it now its gonna be the 1st oil change and fuel filter change on it i wanna see what it looks like at 6 thousand miles Good Video
Very detailed I really enjoy this video even though I'm only 4 11' tall I love my 2019 Cummins 6.7 I will be getting a change Wednesday by myself
Thanks Heather and I appreciate you watching!
I hope it all worked out for you.
Enjoy your new RAM!
lmao the driver's height was probably not necessary, but it is a good truck! Sounds like you're more mechanically inclined than us taller folk lmao.
Great video! I have a 2017 and have now gone 2 yr intervals [twice] with no issues on my 6.7.
Cheers~

I just did mine yesterday, and used the exact same silicone grease from Dow, What a small world!
Good ol' Dow 4!
Thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing. Will #4 work on the front as well or just the rear?

With two fuel filters, you should be able to run it easily for 24,000 miles, great video though
