6.7 Cummins Oil and Fuel filter change - Ram 2500 diesel - Full Service

[@jamesmcguire1868]

Good video. Saved some money doing the service myself from this video. Both fuel filter housings were over tightened and difficult to get off. Don’t over torque them reinstalling. I used Doc’s fuel and oil filters. The rear fuel filter did not drain completely with the drain plug open and spilled when I removed the housing. I had a drain pan ready. I also used a gallon ziploc bag to put the used oil filter in before removing and was able to maneuver it without spilling. There’s no way to drop it vertically without removing components underneath the truck. Took all the used parts and oil to Autozone for disposal. They took everything except the fuel. Which I then put into my emergency fuel can. Total cost ~$300 not including my time (~2 hours).

if you take the intake hose from the air filter to the turbo off you will then be able to unscrew and lift the filter off from the top just a tip to not make a mess on that pretty truck i love ram they are great trucks and that's why i drive em

[@TylerCary]

I’ll have to try that

[@wildmanofthewynooch7028]

Thanks I would rather do that. It might add an extra 20 min to but I don't have to reach in and try to blindly tread the filter. Thank you very much!

[@lobo176]

Ram dealers charge $600.00 todo this service. I will doing it myself from now on. Good video.

[@nathanhoff4967]

I thought i was only one dumb enough to pay that 600 bucks 😂

[@nattherat89]

Australia is $1400

[@owenmonaco7817]

Just north of $1000 in canada

[@austinsaltsman-gl6zv]

I wouldn’t use doc filters even if they gave them to me for free. Tried them once, horrible performance. Glad they work for you.

[@nathanielking4464]

Good video and great tips. I like to open oil cap (vent) before pulling drain plug and also pulling oil filter off with plug still open to let excess oil drain. But very helpful thanks man! 👍

[@TylerCary]

I’ll try that on the next one, about ready for my next oil change

[@johnc7573]

Hey man great video. The oil filter cap is a must and it’s a cheap part to get on Amazon. Just did my truck today and I will say that when I put the new oil filter on I did it from up top to better see what I was doing. Just had to take the pipe off from air box to turbo. Did it hand tight and then a quarter turn with filter wrench thru wheel well 😅

[@mgiffee6816]

Oil up the O rings it makes it easier to remove your fuel filter caps

[@jessemoore4969]

Get a filter cap it makes it much easier and you don't make a mess

[@TylerCary]

Ordering one now! Wish I had one the first go around

[@2SRanch]

Anyone have a link?

[@mgiffee6816]

Did you get the rear fuel filter from docs? If so, what is the part number? Last and only time i ordered from them they sent the wrong one

[@beverlyrobinson7535]

Good job I learn a lot ty

[@richardtaylor2973]

What size was the orange hose you used for the rear filter? THANKS

[@TylerCary]

I will confirm but I believe it was 1/2 in, it was from a hand transfer pump from harbor freight

[@josephfrotton6522]

Great Video!!

[@josemuller5897]

Aqui no Brasil as concessionárias estão usando óleo 10w40 e 15w40, estranho, pois no manual pede o 10w30.

[@duckwacker8720]

Because you guys don't have emissions on your diesel. It should take 15w-40.

[@brianschnelle6942]

Very nice video! You covered most items and did a great job!! My only pet peeve would be to PLEASE use a torque wrench for the fuel filters ( I think they're 28 mm) and on the oil drain plug ( if memory serves 27 ft/lbs?) Also, the oil drain plug is not an exact fit for 3/8's drive extensions, they actually make exact fit square drive plug tools (SnapOn, Mac, etc) ... Should someone overtighten these components, you will have a bear of a time extracting ... using easy outs and barrel extractors, while not getting paid for your skillset. Ask me how I know... "Good and Tight" don't work in todays world any longer, not with micro precision engineering. Also don't forget to change the drain plug gasket or copper. (Can't remember on this model) Otherwise GREAT job and Thank You!!

[@duckwacker8720]

You don't need a torque wrench .

[@duckwacker8720]

Cummins has never had a replaceable drain plug gasket. It's a over molded rubber gasket. You also don't need a "special" tool for the drain plug. I've worked on 1000's of 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins and have never needed a special tool for the plug. Even if they're really tight and worn out.

[@chrismegerace4979]

Dang, you took that to 3% oil life? Too long

[@pr4lviper]

Hi. What us your zone climate? Where u live? For de 10w30

[@TylerCary]

We are in New Jersey, usually mild winters

[@duckwacker8720]

​@@TylerCarythat explains the rust. 5w-40 is a better choice.

[@pr4lviper]

Still using the Amsoil and 10w30?

[@stevewabelden4169]

If you reach up from underneath you won't spill anything ( oil filter )

[@jonathanherb3752]

Yeah that doesn’t work on these trucks. You have to go on an angle to get it out from the wheel well.

[@faultless18]

What do you think about docs fuel filter? I’ve heard mixed reviews about them

[@TylerCary]

They looked to be the same quality as what I took out. Haven’t had any issues so far

[@maxgibson4771]

Это потому что в Америке заехать в обычный сервис стоит огромных денег.

[@rodicacojocaru4898]

Bună! Din ce an este ram-ul și la cati km ai schimbat prima dată uleiul. De ce ulei 10W 30?

[@tikkamasala9062]

In camionul meu (2019 6.7 cummins) am nevoie sa scimbi in fiecare 24.000km El stau in Arizona si nevoie 10w30 daca stati undeva cu temps sub -18C utilizati 5w40 synthetic

[@duckwacker8720]

Never use 10w-30 in a diesel! Use 5w-40 and delete the damn truck.

[@Rackpack-mb4ml]

It calls for 10w30 and have you looked at the cost of deleting a 2022 cummins?... no.... sit down you don't know what your talking about

[@johngammon6875]

3/8's for th oil pan tighten 37ftp torq

[@duckwacker8720]

Do it by feel.

[@Ibelieve350]

Hey bro, whatever you do, do not mix your used oil with fuel nobody will take it i used to work for a company that got used oil someone gave us oil with fuel in it it was considered hazardous and 10 times the amount to take

[@duckwacker8720]

Bullshit! It doesn't matter. It's just diesel. Brake fluid is a different story. We mix everything in our waste oil and it doesn't cost any extra.

[@mbstxb7579]

Too dark can't see

[@truckerwithleukemia]

What in the world you guys don’t go through all the process what about bleeding getting the air out of the oil filter? How do you guys do that? If you guys are going to make videos you need to make it all the way through us all the steps.

[@TylerCary]

We pre fill the filter before installing

[@Kahlo69]

Don't prefill the filter.

[@hersheyroseman4508]

Its fine to Pre-Fill the filter. The Engine gets oil to bearings and other wear surfaces quicker. Any "worry of Contaminates" is negligible as most contaminates are too small to cause damage or it will be Suspended by the oil ,then filtered within in seconds.

[@Kahlo69]

@@hersheyroseman4508Oil pumps move so much volume that prefilling isnt necessary. There's also residual oil in every crevice that it doesn't matter anyway.

[@duckwacker8720]

Always prime the filter.

[@Kahlo69]

@@duckwacker8720 Never prefill the filter.

[@PaulCarrer-db4mj]

This has been debunked by the oil geek, he ran the oil before prefilling oil filter, and then after being put on and ran through the engine. Way more contaminants after starting up.
