3.0 duramax fuel filter change (FAST)

[@nathansmith5331]

I just did this on my 2021 1500 SIERRA Denali, literally took me 7 minutes. 36mm socket was 23.00 , filter was 44.99. Thanks for the help. Super easy.

[@SomethingonSodom]

You got it brother. 👍

[@travisdutson8226]

Great video - just changed filter for the first time without issues, and only took a couple of minutes. Thank you!

[@orlandohernandez2553]

I just changed mine following this tutorial. Was super easy. Thank you sir

[@SomethingonSodom]

Np glad it helped !!

[@alanhernandez3238]

Great video!! Very helpful because just got a 2021 Denali 3.0 and it's close to needed the fuel filter replaced. The dealer told me to do it every two oil changes but it's already going for it's third oil change and the percentage is barely going to hit 40 percent but the truck is rarely ever driven. Mainly for long travel because of the mpg I get but thank you once again. It looks easy and simple and will be doing this myself.

[@chrissmith8041]

Changed mine in minutes with your help, thank you!

[@SomethingonSodom]

You got it

[@j_white1305]

Thanks for the tips, I'm doing it this weekend on a 22 Yukon 3.0 when I do my oil change. I figure every 15k is probably worthwhile as the filters aren't expensive. Good tip on the guy below who said that the O-ring he received was a different size.

[@SomethingonSodom]

Noted for sure. Cheers.

[@kerensahaney5622]

Thank you, I was able to change my own filter. Dealer was supposed to check it but did not.

[@SomethingonSodom]

Np glad it helped

[@SomethingonSodom]

Sorry Fellas, Forgot to record clearing the fuel filter meter on the truck. Straight forward in the settings! Post if you have any issues. Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@LittleLegsification]

I hope to see some more videos on the maintenance for this soon. I recently bought a 20 Silverado with the engine and so far everything is the same.

[@ronmcyrus4879]

Really appreciate u doing to at ground level makes much sense never done this so I was nervous.

[@davesteigerwald4474]

Thank you. This and the oil change video you did is a $$$ saver for me.

[@SomethingonSodom]

Yeah buddy

mint thanks brother !!!

Have you had to do any of the other maintenance this calls for? Specifically the transmission fluid/filter change?

[@handymonshawn]

Thank you brother gonna do this weekend looks super easy. Just got 1st message to change fuel filter on my 2020 Silverado 3.0. 200 bucks is alot of 🍻🤣

[@SomethingonSodom]

You got it. Get that oil toasty and letter drain.

[@franklinramirez5445]

How often should we change it?

[@SomethingonSodom]

@@franklinramirez5445 depends on what the trucks monitor says.

[@dloregon]

my dealer wanted $200 to change the filter on my 2020 GMC 1500.I bought the filter from them for $40,so they wanted $160 labor to change, it took me about 10 minutes to change.

[@MrSmurf459]

Canadian tire quoted me $240

[@nickuroza4443]

Due to inflation continuing. I called my local shop and they quoted $250. So about $200 in labor for maybe 5-10min worth of work. I’m in the wrong business

[@darrylstevens2556]

​@@nickuroza4443Even a streetwalker would be envious of making $200 for only 10 mins of work.

[@dalemarsh942]

Yep dealer 150 bought the filter for 47. Great video cause I’m no mechanic

[@nostalgicadam]

Great video!

[@SomethingonSodom]

Thanks for the visit

[@dianeludick5310]

i ordered the ac fuel filter kit , it arrived a couple of days ago, but the smaller o ring looks smaller then the videos, and it is black and looks a lot thinner then the one in the video. havent changed it yet.

[@SomethingonSodom]

sorry i missed your reply. did it work out? ours was fine.

[@tschwenk0322]

Great video thank you! Dealer wanted $175 🤯

[@Chris-ms7xc]

I have the same truck as your father in law which is on the video going to change the fuel filter this afternoon. I noticed his mirrors look to be off a 3/4 ton where did he get those I pull a lot of trailers and whatnot.

[@SomethingonSodom]

i think they came like that. they are nice mirrors

[@chasematthews4855]

Do u have to prime it twice? Or just once. 2022 chevy 1500 3.0l lm2

[@handymonshawn]

Ok guys got it fixed yesterday. So the bigger O-ring that came with the filter from Amazon oem gm part was thinner diameter than the original factory so when primed sprayed and leaked. So I had no choice but to reuse the older o ring which was thicker and sealed right up. I'm thinking when you change out yours compare the two. I might just pay the extra bucks and get from my local dealer 😤

[@handymonshawn]

Super easy job. When snug up I used 17# foot torque a little less. Dam plastic cap kinda sketchy waiting for the torque wrench to click.

[@SomethingonSodom]

Good to know thanks for posting.

[@orlandohernandez2553]

I bought mine from Amazon and had no issues

[@uanta866]

Hi, thanks for sharing the video. I see your truck is inside the garage. Do you have a bigger garage? I want to buy a GMC Sierra 1500 diesel, but worrying it won't fit in my garage.

Just changed fuel filter on my 2021 chevy 3.0. Can you reuse the diesel that drains out of the filter. Use a new catch pan so it was clean. Not a lot of diesel, just asking.

[@SomethingonSodom]

Ho estly these injectors on the modern diesels are so fine it's probably not worth the risk.

[@jimbarnett8711]

[@martinvirabyan1990]

Thanks for putting this video I find out there is 0-20- 100% synthetic Amsoil for 3.0 Duramax engine. I would like to know what you recommend Amsoil dexosD100% synthetic vs acdelco dexosD for engine?? Thanks.

[@SomethingonSodom]

I believe as long as it's dexos D (big D) it should be synthetic 0w20.

[@martinvirabyan1990]

Thanks for your advice I noticed that the0-20 acdelco dexosD every time I change oil with in 2 or 3 days it’s turning really really dark color like black I think I’m going to give it try 0-20Amsoil Diesel 100% synthetic DexosD to check how it’s going to perform it??? And need more information about what kind of Diesel you think is good for Duramax 3.0 in your experience??? Renewable diesel, Disel number two, biodiesel, Highway Diesel or ??? Thanks

[@SomethingonSodom]

@@martinvirabyan1990 honestly all modern diesels dirty the oil up really quick. It has more to do with the EGR pumping shoot back Into the Intake which makes its way back down to the sump.

[@robpaul7900]

Is the amsoil your talking about dexos D compatible? I know only of the Mobil ESP and the ac Delco oils being dexos D approved so far let me know thanks.

[@MrSmurf459]

Doesn’t matter as long as it’s dexosD!

[@aforgottennativeamerica8439]

Do you need to soak the filter and diesel before putting it on?

[@SomethingonSodom]

@@aforgottennativeamerica8439 never did. Be sure to prime though.

[@GNR325]

Wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts comparing the GM and Ram diesels. And thoughts on the undercarriage of each. I suspect the frame will show rust on the GM before the Ram with that wax coated frame.

[@SomethingonSodom]

8 year ram still pretty good. 3 oil sprays so far though. Bringing it in again in the summer

[@d.posey1010]

Have changed mine on my 3.0 Duramax 3 times already with no problems. Went to change it this time and I can’t get the plastic housing off to save my life. It’s extremely tight. Idk if I didn’t lubricate the o ring enough or I overtightened it. But I can’t get it off. Have tried socket and just rounding off the nut. Filter wrench, strap wrench. Nothing is working. It will not budge at all. Any tips for getting it off?

[@SomethingonSodom]

Not really, cross threaded ? Did you figure it out ?

[@StagrLee]

I keep a T40 socket wrench and a Fred Eaglemsmith tune ready in my truck when the “Water in the Fuel” dash light goes off

[@SomethingonSodom]

Oh yeah ? How often does it go off ? Have you tried different brands of diesel ?

[@StagrLee]

@@SomethingonSodom Just one fill up in a remote part of the cascades in Oregon. Had to drain water 4 times though. No stalls, hiccups … but I did let the dealer look it over and replace the filter :(

[@ontogeny6474]

Just picked up my 3.0, SLT and love it. On an unrelated topic would like to know about the tonneau cover on the truck. Been having difficulty finding one compatible with the 2022, 6.6 bed with the multifunction tailgate. Would appreciate info on the brand and fit on your father-in-laws truck. Thanks (new subscriber)

[@Arminz1]

I just got the Tonno Pro Lo Roll for mine. Same spec as you have mentioned and generally works great, price is low and has lifetime warranty. Only minor issue is the extendable handle to climb into the bed touches the tonneau rail but still opens and locks into place.

[@edwardpate6128]

Man that baby sure was eiser to prime than my old 2001 Ram Cummins 24V!
