2011 ram 2500 6.7 fuel filter change

[@24kachina]

Thanks a lot. This is short and sweet but tells key, you need a 1 1/8 " socket to crack the cap from above unless your superhuman. 10 minute job once you get that socket.

Rougen512, I'm not really sure if its necessary however I was worried it would be filled to the brim and would spill everywhere when I took the cap off and the filter would be super saturated...If you've seen it done it might not be. I personally didn't want Diesel on my driveway.

[@DieselFi5e]

The reason I didn't record myself doing this was because it was the first time I had ever done it so it would've been very uninformative. This was more of a brief overview of how it was done, and if anyone had questions I might be able to reply. Thanks for your input.

I have a 2012 with 7,600 miles and gonna attempt my first fuel filter change, what parts did you have to buy filter housing or just filter cartridge? This is my first diesel pickup so am new to this. Thanks

[@Jay-ip8lp]

So check this out the one that you bought has an oval seal the one you pulled out has around still it could be vice-versa but they do not have the same hole can someone please explain this to me

[@DieselFi5e]

The gasket is round on both of them.

[@rougen512]

is it really necessary to drain the housing? I've seen another video where the guy leaves it all in there

[@DieselFi5e]

Yes, Because that's where the water and debris sits.

[@mrpouchy]

how did you get that cap off? I have all the tools. I can't get the leverage. Or I'm weak.

[@ryderwayland]

When you put the fuel filter inside, do you tighten it, like turn it ? or just simply place there and tighten the cap.?

[@DieselFi5e]

Simply place in, however make sure you verify in your owners manual for different models and years.

[@ANDREW__AA]
