I have a question for you, I have a 2006 Ford F150 5.4L 3v triton. The engine shakes the whole truck, I've replaced the alternator, the battery, and spark plugs and it still shakes when I idle and stalls a lot. What do you think it might be?

[@grantmoseley2712]

James Gregory What about the VCT Solenoids? Have you changed those yet? I also have a 2006 F-150 5.4 3V. When I bought my truck it did shake and stall. I installed new VCT Solenoids. Then it stopped shaking and stalling. Hope this helps.

I viewed your video many times as I (78 years old) prepared to change the fuel filter on my 2005 F-150, paying careful attention to your comments and even your hand positions. Everything went smoothly and without any problem at all. Following completion and successfully having no evidence of leakage, and following a test drive, I could not wait to share my success with my wife and grown sons. Thank you for your outstanding video.

[@annaeddy79]

Ok, this comment has me confident now. Thank you!

[@A.C.71]

I have same truck. It turns out I love this truck. It doesn't hurt my back like almost all other trucks do, has great power for a gas truck, decent Milage, crewcab has great leg room. It's just a bit on the picky side lol

[@wyattherb3962]

This is the fifth video of yours I’ve seen. You’re straight to the point with clear and simple explanations. Great work. Thank you!

[@e.b.6766]

Good info as usual. I would like to add one thing if you don’t mind... instead of letting the excess fuel spill all over the place (yours was minimal) I pull the fuel pump fuse. This allows the excess fuel to be burned from the line prior to the vehicle shutting off; absolutely no residual pressure. Just a suggestion.

[@jedmeadows6226]

I watched four or five videos on replacing the fuel filter on a 2004 F150. This has the clearest, most complete explanation.

[@byronlemay2166]

This video is an oldie but a goodie...had a little up and down play with my Reverb Stealth, bought the bleed kit on Amazon, did the bleed (bubbles indeed) and also discovered that the air pressure was only 150 lbs! Got everything squared away with the outstanding advice of this video and now it works like new again. Thank you, sir.

[@thelibertarian7381]

9 yrs after u made this fantastic video and its still helping diy "ers" like me! Thank you!

[@billf321]

Happy to have seen this video. I watched a few others that did it another method. Your method was much simpler. My filter was quite old 5+ years and 40k miles. A little tough to remove. WD-40 on the filter bracket helped a lot. I had to watch how you unclipped the hose after the bend a few times as your hand was in the way. It wouldn't release until I noticed the filter was not pushed all the way to the tang. That little bit of about 1/2" was all it needed and the rest just a few minutes. I have a 4x4 and I had to remove the skid plate to access easier. Just 4 13mm bolts. Thanks for the video.

[@Mark622111]

Nice, I'm an old gear head...thought a fuel filter was a no brainer but we never know the need-to-know & tricks that'd make life easier.....nice video.

[@jimignatowsky]

Well it is obvious I am not a mechanic for a reason. With a little grunting and groaning (and by groaning I mean misuse of the english language) I got the job done. Great video with step by step instruction. Thanks.

Like your background music I could watch you work on 5.4 tritons and listen to inspirational music, This is your Ministry of helping people

[@tradam6986]

Great video. One thing to add, if you are DIY, do the work in a well ventilated area. I almost puked doing this in the garage, even with a depressurized system (only 1/2c of fuel came out). Thanks!

[@BabyKitten199]

This was very interesting being that you removed it backwards compared to all the other videos I’ve seen for replacing a Ford fuel filter.

[@superjoint57]

Thank you so much for this vid! It helped me. I am learning how to do some things on my own for a '98 F-250 Light Duty I purchased. I would have completed this in like 15 minutes tops but someone had one of the line fittings crimped/bent on to the old filter! Fun time getting that off!!! Thank you again for putting up your vids....in my case, 5-6 have already taught me & helped me complete some tasks on my own. Kudos!!!

[@adamdodsy84]

You can get the fuel line clips separate they are part numbers 7L3Z-9S317-A and 7L3Z-9S317-B for the 5/16 and 3/8 sizes. Handy to have in your toolbox!

[@watchmakertothestars]

My hoses (2008 F150 5.4) are slightly different. The line from the tank had an extra 8 in line on the end. The blue clip was on the end of the fuel line coming from the tank and the short fuel line was connected to the filter with a completely different type of connector that was red. Also the first filter I ordered , a Moto FG-1114 had different diameter tubing than mine. Ordered a Napa Gold filter and it was the correct sizing. Love this channel. Decided to rebuild my '08 Lariat with only 90k instead of buying a new rig based on this channel. I figure 20 grand I will be better than new including custom paint, wheels, exhaust, you name it. Thanks Brian.

[@bradhusk6810]

Thanks so much for your videos. You have helped me with several repairs on my f150, saved some serious money. I appreciate your straightforward and thorough explanations. Keep it up!

@Tomato Sauce hahaha well, do you believe in absolute truths? Are you absolutely sure about your answer? Time will end someday but your soul is timeless..... I sure hope you change your position on God’s existence.

[@ChrisGospodarz]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial Brian! I didn't depressurize the fuel system either, but used a 5/16" or 3/8" rubber cap on the old filter while fumbling with the quick release connector. Total spillage was a couple of tablespoons.

[@NMWriterofWords]

I really appreciate you taking it loose and letting it dangle and showing us how to remove that back line

[@jgsphoto34]

Looks so easy! Well we had the plastic and metal tool and worked over 1 hour and couldn't release the front one.....and my brother in law worked as a ford mechanic for years! we will try again next weekend...lol

[@timcole228]

Nicely done sir ! Well spoken, not a bunch of blabbing. Very clear and concise. 👍

[@jeffreyallen3777]

Because of where I live these filters are always gunked up with mud, crud, undercoating etc.. I always spray off the underneath of my truck before I work on it but ther'll still be a lot of crap stuck to the frame rail so it's never a lot of fun to do it. I spray the actual fittings down with brake cleaner , especially the channel where the fuel filter stem slides in. That channel can fill up with fine debris and prevent the spring tabs from being pushed back enough to make it difficult for the ridge that locks the filter in from sliding past the tabs.Then I give it a squirt of wd-40 for lub. , insert the tool and twist and pull them gently till they release.It seems like they should slide out really easily but they never seem to on my trucks.Never had one leak, though.

[@mcrider333]

Thank you for an excellent how to video. Just finished mine on a 2005 F150 5.4. Did exactly what you said and it took me 10 minutes.

YIKES! I had just purchased a couple of tools needed to do the Phasers and timing chains. Was purchasing timing chain kit today but wanted to review your two videos one more time before buying the kit online today. I see you have been banished, censored, threatened, or whatever. You provided some really great tips and I appreciate all that you have done. You have helped me immensely! I have a 2004 F150 with 193k and could you steer me in the direction of finding the procedures I need such as cam shaft positions for phaser installation and which intake/exhaust I need to relieve pressure using screw driver trick. Both banks please. I think I remember everything else.

[@armandocornejo7476]

Thanks for the tips man. Bought the 3/8 disconnecting tool. With your tips I changed it out pretty quickly. I have a 2008 stx f150 4.6l v8. Love your videos.

How bout giving us your trouble shooting process you use to get to this repair video. You could make this a two parter.

[@rajunkajun5969]

I recommend giving the Fuel shut off valve behind the passenger side Kick panel next to the fuse box, a light tap or two with a hammer while the engine is running, just to be sure the fuel is shut off. and can be turned on again after the new filter is in place.

[@mikeab93]

You can manually trip these. I use the door key in the slot at the top. It'll pop the button then crank the motor.

[@rajunkajun5969]

Michael B. Good to know. Usually just started it, and tapped it with a small hammer. I had know clue you could pop it with a key or flat head driver.

Where is the fuel filter on a 2019 Ecoboost?

[@BkA61]

Just changed my fuel filter in my 08 XL was a bit different connection was a red tab that you pulled up than pushed back through to get the line off going back to the tank, the front connection was the same. was a GSA truck so they may have swapped it after they damaged the original i don't know. As usual great video, Thank you.

[@locknload9143]

Question...Can a bad filter cause me, "Crank No Start"? I've checked everything. Think I have a gremlin.

[@n.c.2537]

The hardest part of the whole installation for me was, the clamp that holds the fuel filter was a pain to take out. It was tight! Other than that the installation went smooth like silk panties.

to release the second fitting, I didnt have the correct tool, I took a lid from a sharpee marker and split it down the side and slid into the fitting. It worked but I would use the correct tool if possible.

No Schrader valve on the fuel rail. That makes it another animal to check or relieve fuel pressure...thanks Ford.

Thank you, for a great "How 2 Video". Q. have you ever drained a fuel tank without removing it from vehicle, and how do you get pass the blocking plug thing in the tank. I thought I could drain tank by removing Hose at tank , insert siphon hose, pump fuel, and be done with it.

The sad part about my 08 super duty I had to take an angle grinder cut my fuel filter bracket off because the fuel filter was rusted to it and my fuel filter is held into the frame by zip ties, previous owners of the 08 super duty with 5.4l 3v I own were a landscaping company I expected some things to be neglected on it when I bought it, and fuel filter, spark plugs, ignition coils, we're never replaced, and I had to replace em, and change the oil that oil was black they just topped it off Everytime from what it seems like. But I gotta replace my fuel filter again been 4 years now since I did it when I bought the truck.
