2005 Ford 6.0 external transmission filter install

[@DISOPtv]

Some say 8 years later, he's still spinning that housing to get it to catch. :D Great video thx

[@marfarduckman]

excellent timing with the ice-cream truck music playing while you fight the threads. Good and helpful video. thank you.

[@haudo6914]

Awesome and funny video. Tried a breaker bar and a 22mm Almost pull the whole thing out of the truck frame. Seen your video use the impact.. No sweat at all come right out . Thank you sir 🙏

[@Candoit2]

Thank you! Sorry you had such a hard time....such is the life of us shade tree mechanics ☺ good video!!

[@bradt4395]

Thanks. Just changed mine based on your video. My dealer told me they could not get off the trans filter cap and after watching your video I realized that they probably didn’t even try to use an impact wrench. They said they wanted to change the complete assembly of the cap being “frozen”. Good thing I said no!

I changed my trans filter a couple of weeks ago and ran into the same problems. Using a socket and long handle 3/8 swivel head ratchet I thought I was going to tear the filter right out of the bracket and it would not budge. Next attempt was to heat the filter housing around the thread area with a small butane torch to expand the housing and hit it with my snap on 3/8 impact and a six point socket and she came off. Installing the new filter I had a hard time getting it started as you did. I think its because of the spring pressure on the filer while trying to start the threads. Another point the base of the filer with the spring is a magnet that needs to be cleaned. lube the threads up good it feels like the threads are trying to gall.

The ice cream man was putting the Heebee Jeebee on ya. 😂

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

Am I the only one who wanted ice cream at 6:09? And greatly appreciate the honesty regarding getting the filter housing back on - a lesser man would have edited it out. On those aluminum threads I use a product called EZ TURN LUBRICANT (aircraftspruce.com; aka fuel lube). Haven’t done my external transmission filter yet (which explains why I’m watching your video!), but I bet the fuel lube will do the trick- we use it on airplanes all the time.

Sounds like me working on my truck in my neighborhood with the ice cream truck in the background lol I don't have a Ford, but I'm looking at adding an external filter in preparation for a rebuild. Good video bud. Thumbs up.

[@jackanderson1418]

Great vidio !! Would not have though of the impact wrench the vidio was worth watching just for that info also the filter location and what it looks like will help, I've had problem getting threads started especially in a difficult to reach location. Fun and informative video to watch.

[@claudesmoot1880]

Nice tip with the impact wrench.

Yes that is what i found worked I was afraid i was going to twist the lines of with a ratchet.

[@stumbler93]

These filters make great fuel filters..in the winter time, ambient temp 25 degrees and up, I burn a mixture of 80 / 20 waste oil and gasoline. With the big 1/2" I.D. lines and a filter element that was designed to filter ATF @ 60-90psi..my fuel/oil mix flows through this filter perfectly without having to heat it at all. Ambient temps above 70 degrees, 100% waste oil no problems. FYI

[@eshskis1]

LOL welcome to my world nothing is easy anymore

[@carolinawestern3875]

I gotta do the same thing on my 04 F250 4x4 6.0. But I think I'm going with the high flow. While going thru the trouble.

[@stumbler93]

I knew I couldn't have been the only one that has a hell of a time to get that filter bowl spun on correctly, seemingly every one I do I got change hands at least 6 times and inspect the threads each time, thinking "..wtf is going on with this p.o.s. are these threads f-ed up..didn't feel cross threaded when I removed it" lol

[@flats-hopper4351]

Anyone noticed shavings in the filter after replacement? Did the truck shift any smoother

[@clintg3435]

Don't use an impact wrench....Use an extension (long enough to get your knuckles clear) and a 22MM socket with a breaker bar. It's all about leverage. Notice his socket was stuck on after removing the housing. This is likely due to damage caused by the impact wrench to the hex of the ?aluminum?? housing. I just removed mine yesterday to replace the filter and it was not as easy as you would think it should be, but came off easy enough. More than likely it was over-torqued the last time it was removed and reinstalled. Ford manual calls for 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm) for final torque. I cleaned the plate at the bottom of the filter and it was cracked all the way through. Ordered new one from Ford for 15$. Currently waiting for part to come in to install.

[@quailman352]

Wrong size socket

[@briancoakley1524]

All the other videos I've seen use an impact wrench.

[@gnarlock3927]

You want an impact to remove this one, don’t go crazy with it but the breaker bar will pull the whole bracket off the frame before that damn thing breaks free

[@buddieluvsu]

Thank You for making this video

[@WilliamRobello]

I just tried my electric Bkack and Decker 2670 1/2 in with 2700 bpm and didn't budge.

[@gnarlock3927]

Was the system drained beforehand? I wanna change just my filter but don’t want to lose a bunch of fluid, looks like you had minimal fluid loss there. Those threads are awful to get off and on!

[@brickmason26]

Dont worry man story of my life

[@LC-hq6hc]

This video was funny but very informative did you ever get that thing back on there?

[@moneypit9606]

Yes, the damn thing screwed right on after I turned the camera off!

[@HHI455]

Go figure. Thanks for making a funny video of how li9fe often goes in the real world. No harm no foul at least it cost you nothing but a bit of sanity.

[@Jojo-lr7ef]

Id be repenting every 5 minutes lol 😂

Everyone knows that in order to put one of those back you have to hold your head at the proper angle while sticking your tongue out in the opposite direction. Right?

I guess some judiciously placed anit-seize is required on that pot metal canister.

[@daysensouth7325]

Do other cars have external filters?

Lmao shit only happens when your recording ...

Hi, do you have some filter part number? Thanks

Abandon this worthless filter, and install a dieselsite external full flow filter system, with flush valve and gauge, plus the deep pan and 6.4 filter, and be done with it.
