Critical bit. CP4 REQUIRES fuel with NO AIR for faultless lubrication of the pump. MUST completely purge all the air out of the fuel system before starting. Turn on like you did, but wait about 30 seconds for the system to stop pumping and repeat the prime for the full 30 sec each time. Cycle at least 4 times. Patience purging protects against VERY EXPENSIVE failures of the HPFP. Air in the fuel with a CP4 starts drive cam / roller bearing wear, the main failure mode for the CP4.2. Do the purge well, to protect the pump.
Hi @daves 1646 I did the same on the video,I didn't the steps you say I only did it once and it started perfectly but now the low fuel pressure light came on, I would like you to help me. How do I solve that problem? Thanks
@@emiliomarquez3781I did the same thing and trying to figure it out, did you fix it?
Nice video...great job! NOTE: The fuel will stop draining. It just takes a while. I have changed my filters 5X (every 10k miles). I use the same process each time...no issues. Here is the process I use on my 2017 Titan XD Pro4X: 1. Disconnect the NEG battery terminals on both batteries. 2. Disconnect H2O sensor on filter housing #1 (underside of truck). 3. Drain the diesel fuel COMPLETELY. 4. Replace #1 filter & O-Ring seal, tighten filter housing, then replace H2O sensor. 5. Replace #2 filter & O-Ring seal then tighten filter housing. 6. Replace NEG battery terminals on both batteries. 7. CRITICAL: Prime the fuel system AT LEAST 5X (30 sec each time you prime) before attempting to start the vehicle. Prime the fuel system by pushing the START BUTTON 2X without placing your foot on the brake. You will hear the system go through the priming process. The priming process requires about 30-seconds each time you conduct the process. Do this AT LEAST 5X. The fuel system is very sensitive to air intrusion. The fuel pump is $1,900 and the injectors are $950 each. Take your time and do the maintenance the right way and the fuel system will work properly for a very long time. Take short cuts and get ready to break out that credit card!
Thanks
Why would I replace sensors and battery terminals on fuel filter replacement?
think he means disconnect them not literally replace them
I change my own filters on my semi truck and one thing I do that I didn't see you do here is filling the flutters/ housing with clean fuel. The one on the frame rail should be easy, insert the filter in the housing then fill it up at least mostly full before installing it, not sure it would work so well on the one on the engine bay because as you put the filter in you risk having spillage. We do this with semi tricks so there's less air in the fuel system making it easier to prime. Good video.
Big trucks usually run on mechanical pumps so you need to fill them, these have electrical pumps, turn key on and the system will fill itself , do it several times and it will start no problem
Excellent video! I followed and it worked great!
I’ve been using Doc’s diesel filters on my 18 XD pro4x and they’ve worked great at half the price.
i have been doing the same lately after i made this video. have gone through 2 cycles of Docs filters no issues :)

I’ve used Wix filters for my fuel and oil filters for about 60k miles now. Seems to work good. About the same price. Only use them because Nissan seems to never have anything in stock for the 5.0 Cummins.
Those ones work fine for sure. I actually found my Nissan filters on Amazon of all places. My local dealer marks up prices on their parts quite a bit.
@@NotATechShow Man I just don’t like buying stuff online. I’d rather touch it before buying. I’m only 25 so it’s not a generational thing either.
I owned a 6.4 and the process was pretty similar although I would change one filter at a time starting it in between to make sure no air got in the system. Just a precaution that saves headache and problems.
This is the method I’ve heard. One filter then prime process. Then 2nd filter and prime process again.
Great video, very helpful👍😎
Thank you for watching! Glad I could help
Very nice, how is it on working on the diesel compared to gasoline anyone?
Where do you buy the pipes?
Thanks for the info
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Good afternoon from Nigeria when I get the drive it will snow it will not move when I engage reverse it will move faster please what can be the problem by not moving the drive
Two oil filters? Is that standard on XDs with the Cummings? Is the second filter a bypass filter?
You may want to use white lithium grease on your filters so they don't stick to the housing when you take them off on your next service. Believe me I learned the hard way. It also says it on your owner manual. I ended up breaking my lower filter in the priming pump stem cause it wouldn't come off. I thought just using diesel to lubricate it was going to be good enough.
Was wondering about this myself since it wasn't included on the video. Thanks. Ain't too many of us 5.0 owners out there. Gotta help each other out.
@@danielfrain3521 I'm another 5.0 owner 2018.
I did the same thing to mine... $1000 later I had a new priming pump assembly
Will do thanks
How much fuel should you expect to drain from the lower fuel filter and what do you do with the drainage?
it will drain indefinitly sometimes, it starts syphoning from the tank. let it drip for a few minutes into a catch can. you should be able to dispose of it at your locate autoparts store if they have a hazardous waste bin.
Just a recommandation On top of my head, clean the engine bay before removing the cap. No dust shoud ever reach the 2nd stage filter.
Good point. Injectors aren’t cheap.
What’s frightening is I have seen dealership technician use their dirty fluid suckers and stick them down into the cup to suck out the remaining diesel fuel
@@NotATechShow yikes

What do I need to look for when buying these titans used? Blow by?
blow by with any diesel but not that common with these. most common issues are turbo actuator and emissions components issues. its tough to know if it will be a problem just by looking at it. just make sure that the truck that you are looking at was well maintained with fluids and filter changes.
So my question is wouldn’t it be better to do one filter at a time? Priming each filter after replacing it.
So how is your engine holding up? I've read good and bad about this Cummins. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 17 XD and just curious.
Still runs fine. 2016 with 67K miles on it. Only had 1 problem with the Turbo actuator (common). Its a good truck, just be mindful of how much diesel parts cost. If anything does break, its not cheap. With that in mind, i love the truck. It has been my favorite vehicle i have ever owned!
If you change oil every 10k miles, then the service will change your fuel filters, it should come with oil change service?
It doesn't. It's definitely extra!
A lot extra if you have them do it lol
I question the 10 thousand mile recommended replacement.
Me too. That’s what the book says though. I used to be a Dodge Technician and they recommend a 25k mile interval for the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins. It’s not that different of a system if you ask me.
@@NotATechShow Thumbs up. 5k over. $80.00 for O.E.M. Serviced today and reordered on Amazon.
Do you suggest the truck lifted or was it fine to do on the wheels?
you should be able to get cardboard or a creeper under the titan no problem unless you are super huge. That is if, it is the 4x4
@@olddirtyburt7522 yea I got on cardboard and was able to work under since I have a 4x4. Thanks for your video, it was very helpful!
How often does these need to be done ?
Every 10,000 miles. Both filters
I've watched a few now and you're the first that had so much fuel drain out and I don't know why. What was different?
Sometimes it starts pulling from the tank I think.
It’s the back flow from the upper filter!!
I can tell you from experience that your priming procedure is not even close to the right way, it has to prime for 30 seconds at least twice. I have to do mine at least 4 times for it to remove all of the air. When I did it your way it was 3 hours trying to bleed the air out of it. When I do mine I listen for all of the air to get out before I start it. Other than that misinformation it is a good video
Hi Joe, how is your XD running? Haven’t seen new videos on it. I’m thinking of buying a 2016 XD with 34k miles. After owning this truck as long as you have would you recommend it?
XD is running good :) its a good truck, just need to take care of it. fuel filters, air filters, regular maintenence and it will treat you well. these diesels like to be worked. drive it on the highway or pull something. that will keep the exhaust system clean
@@NotATechShow you should make a new video on your XD. I really want the 2016 truck. I hope I’m not going to regret it. I hear parts are hard to find if you need em.
@CountryLivingOnTheFarm I have a 2017 xd and love it, I would however avoid the 2016 model, they were known for the crankshaft breaking without warning, supposedly fixed with an updated crank for the 2017-19 years.
@@tmurph247 I bought the 2016 XD. So far she’s been treating me well. Already put 10k miles on her since end of Nov. had a leveling kit done. Now thinking of doing a 4” lift. Great truck!
I just bought 2016 xd 130k getting a sudden light jerking every so often when accelerating after stopping runs perfect other then the sudden jerk then back to normal? E brake issue? Battery issue? Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Plugs? Maf? Anybody know
Can i put fuel back in tank
I wouldnt. It risks getting dirt in there. I say take the loss
if you absolutely have no other way to dispose ( gas station / local mecanic ) i would at least run it trough some coffe filters or some such things.
Fuel would never stop draining. I found if I make sure tank is below 1/4 it will not continue to drain..
I was wondering if that was the case. I gave it a good 10 minutes or so and then just pulled the filter off. Not too much additional fuel spilled out as you could see.
Thanks
Dumb question, it will not continue to drain due to the level being low enough? Or can you risk dumping all fuel that way too?
Fleet guard filters are owned by Cummins Rush Truck centers carry them and filters are $
Less than overpriced dealership
Is it the same model year (16-19) in non XD models? Plz don't say it's in the tank 😭💀
non XD means it has the V8 gas motor. gasoline powered vehicles typicall have a fuel filter/screen on the fuel pump, which is in the tank. this is the case for non XD. dont worry though, changing the fuel filter in the tank is not a regiular maintentance item. your fuel pump will likely fail before that screen ever needs to be replaced. you also cant buy that filter without buying the fuel pump anyway. if you are having a fuel problem, it could be related to the pump or fuel system in general
It’ll never drain! It keeps pulling fuel from the tank. Just unscrew it, replace the filter and re assemble. Don’t forget the new O ring.
