HOW TO: 5TH Gen RAM 2019-2024 FUEL FILTER CHANGE for your 6.7 Cummins

[@wr.3428]

Thanks for this detailed video! I’m a 49-year-old female that weighs about 105 lbs and I love the look on peoples faces when I tell them I do my own fuel filter changes on my truck! I couldn’t believe the dealer wanted $450 to do this job. I’ll get it done in less than 20 minutes and save myself the pocket change. Thanks again for helping out folks like me.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Awesome! Happy you to help out! It’s a bit much for what the charge is for this service. And ya bam in out and done!

[@raindropcleaners]

Had a gf when I was 23 that changed her own oil, she teached me how to do my own.

[@mikehaskell2254]

To keep the diesel from spilling all over the place on the rear filter, I use a large zip lock bag (allows you to see what is happening). Put it over the canister when unscrewing the drain / housing letting the diesel spill into the bag. Cut open large cardboard shipping boxes and lay them all over the ground under the truck to absorb small spills. Thanks for the video, it helped me save money.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Not to shabby of an idea right there! Appreciate it

[@DMACHOLMAN]

Bro. I found your channel trying to learn to maintain my first diesel truck. In Dec of 2023, I bought a 2022 Cummins, its first major service was coming up, and the dealer ship was too lazy/greedy to take care of it. So, to keep them outta my pockets as much as possible when the diesel-water filter needed to be changed, I went to the old "KZbin university." Saw your video and saved several hundred bucks. Thanks, Bro.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Hell ya I never tire of hearing this! Happy you got a solid rig! Happy you found the video my man beyond happy to help!

[@rox9975]

Great video, my first time changing it myself on a 2021 RAM 2500. Thank you for taking the time to help us out. I do need to find some better ways to keep the diesel from spilling. I don’t like the mess it creates in my driveway. My only suggestion was on the rear filter replacement…push the new filter in place first (it will stay there) and then put the cap on and twist. It’s much harder to put both in at the same time as the filter needs to sit in there properly. Worked great for me 😎

[@IManOPERATOR]

Awesome happy to be able to help out. And yes you’re correct on the filter I guess it a what worked best for you. Some reason I’ve tried that couldn’t get the thing to thread to save my life

[@tuckerjeffrey]

You have no idea how much this helped me. I couldn’t tell from the video what you were doing with the upper filter as well as I could the lower filter. I took my new 2021 ram 2500 to the dealership in which I purchased a $6200 service/extended warranty on it yet when I brought it in for my first service at 7500 miles they wanted to charge me $420 plus tax I assume just to change the fuel filter. I am mediately pitched a fit and had them cancel the service policy where they were going to maintain my truck for seven years or 84 months. They knowingly miss lead or said they forgot to tell me that the fuel filter wasn’t covered so it would’ve been 420+ tax every service in addition to the $6200 plan that I had purchased and I thought that was crappy of them to do with me that way. Thanks for the video and the tips

[@IManOPERATOR]

Ya I’m sure they “forgot” to mention that to you. It’s definitely way over priced for them to do a 15 min service with $160 ish in filters Happy you found the video to benefit you. It’s an easy process do it with your oil change each time you’ll be good to go, I do recommend only to buy oem filters. Online or something dealer wants to much for them. No aftermarket filter comes close to the quality of the mopar filters

I used a 5/8” hose on front filter to easily direct fuel to spill into catch can. You will see the opening from underneath, above front axle if you have a 4X4. You can also use a big funnel for rear filter to direct spilled diesel into a container.

If you will crack that drain again. As soon as you see a drop of diesel come out around the housing. That will drain the rest of the fuel. It will not drain it all the first round. As it catch get a breath of air. That will let it finish. Also a drain hose on the drain nipple keeps the fuel from making a mess also.

Good video, first time change for me. My last Ram only had one filter and it wasn't plastic like these. I broke the valve 8mm nut off trying to get it to open and drain. Had about 3/8 of a turn so it was a slow drip. Ordered extra online. No on within 2 hours of Charlotte NC had the valve. Went to Gastonia Dodge they had the whole cap with the valve in it, $79.85. So, with the spare cap and the soon to arrive bleeder valves I should be okay. As soon as I saw the first video and how the whole canister flexed and twisted, and the effort put in to make it turn, I figured the I'd be replacing the whole thing. Wonder why Fiat went with plastic??!! Love the truck but that is NFG! Good luck to the rest of y'all......

[@nazar9826]

Thx you so much for your video. Now I can do it myself. Keep up the good videos

[@IManOPERATOR]

Very welcome. Happy you found it helpful

[@davidrobine5350]

Good procedure and video! Clear and to the point. Thanks!

[@IManOPERATOR]

Happy to help thank you

[@aaronkelley8909]

Thanks for posting. How many miles do you have on your 2020? The 2020 has proven to be a good year. I ended up trading my 22 Cummins. Now I’m in a Duramax. It’s a good platform. But nothing beats the Cummins torque and exhaust brake.

She’s at 83k now been a dream this entire time and no joke these motors do what Theyer built for

[@gorgonbazil2652]

Great video.. Just a note, get some dielectric grease and coat your O-rings, they will go in smooth and you will get a better "feel" for the torque.. The fuel makes the O-rings make that awful noise and cause them to shudder as you tighten, the grease will stop that... Also if you unplug any electrical plugs, put some of that grease in there too, it will prevent them from corroding and make them easier to unplug as well.. Nice truck BTW....

[@IManOPERATOR]

Definitely I appreciate that information I never really thought about that. Appreciate it

[@ToneeBologna.]

Can you use silicone lube?

[@oknod7363]

White lithium grease works too.

[@gregcoughlin4615]

I think dielectric grease will give you problems in your electrical components, it acts as an insulator, not a conductor. You could restrict the current if you're putting it in your plugs.

[@gorgonbazil2652]

@@gregcoughlin4615 No Sir, Used it on electrical components to protect them from salt water in the Navy for 20 years. It lubricates the connection and also prevents corrosion. There is a reason the Navy ships have lasted since WW1

[@hugehelp]

you rock thanks! was going to pay the dealer but they pissed me off. Save $$$ Mine is a 2021 HO so the same

[@IManOPERATOR]

Happy you find the video! Ya same some money

[@hugehelp]

@@IManOPERATOR honestly was just going to pay then I looked at warranty and diy oil change or fuel filters doesn’t void unless I f**k it up. So easy money 💰

[@rtm365bnc]

My mistake was lower filter holder I put the o-ring one groove higher, go all the way down to last groove.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Ya make sure that sucker is fully seated

[@williamwheeler9708]

Changed mine yesterday. Wasn’t difficult to do, but after priming the fuel filters 4x as recommended, the truck started then stalled after 5 seconds. Repeated this process three more times with the same result. Have no idea what the problem is, but I’m fucked if I can’t get it started tomorrow for work.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Did you buy oem filters? I’ve heard some people getting fake oem filters having this issue I would check your rear filter housing first then go back to the front. Long as you hear your pump working. Slight chance of a bad filter,

[@azau79]

Great Video - Where does in O-ring go in the on-engine filter housing? From the video it looked like you pushed it to the bottom of the housing. Thanks!

[@IManOPERATOR]

I appreciate it, and yes what you saw or think is correct. The o-ring goes on the housing itself, took it off the same way I did for the rear filter housing

[@dolsavsky]

I wish I would've watched this before I got the text that my truck was ready and my total for oil change and filters was over $700. Live and learn I guess.

[@IManOPERATOR]

You know for next Time!

[@badassblazer]

thanks for making the video. i am about to do this now on my '22 2500.

[@IManOPERATOR]

You know it!

[@timtimmons2715]

I change oil (and oil filter) every 5K miles and 15K on the fuel filters. The secondary filter (under the hood) is always clean. What are your thoughts on only changing the secondary filter at 30K ? I'm on my 4th diesel pickup and have always changed the oil at 5K and fuel filters when suggested by Dodge (Ram). Still have my 2004 2500 and 2019 2500. I'm 74 and have never had anyone else service my vehicles. Saved a wheelbarrow full of $ by doing my own. TT

[@IManOPERATOR]

So in my experience and opinion, you’re changing your oil way to soon and it’s probably not necessary. Don’t get me wrong if anything you’re not hurting anything but I’ve sent in an oil sample on a few rigs before at 10k change and they are well with in limits of the oils structure and lubricity. The fuel filters i get it, I changed them out just not to long ago, rear filter was quite dirty no doubt and the front as usual was still clean in my eyes. I feel it probably wouldn’t harm changing the secondary filter every other change but going 30k I’m not so sure. I will in good time change out the rest Filter with an adapter system for cat filters to have first and secondary filters under the bed even with that. If I remember right they recommended to change the front filter every other fuel filter change. And man no doubt on saving a load of money doing your own maintenance. And me personally I’ve always enjoyed this stuff.

[@rulyboobear]

When you get time can you provide links for tools that’s needed

[@IManOPERATOR]

Updated it in the description for ya.

[@chuckpoz1968]

Thank you you made it so easy ! What’s the torque spec for those caps ? Or is it needed 🤷‍♂️

[@IManOPERATOR]

Awesome! No spec as far as I know, just when the cap stops it’s bottoms out and that’s it

[@clintmartin1386]

On the rear fuel filter you forgot to mention to put the top on first then tighten the 8mm socket when putting it back on to prevent pressure

[@IManOPERATOR]

Never thought about that. But really done see how that would affect anything during install.

[@clintmartin1386]

Just goes on easier. It won't affect anything

[@IManOPERATOR]

@@clintmartin1386 ahhh copy that I appreciate the input!

[@irishCanadianGuy68]

I do have a question for you. I was reading that when tightening, you should use a torque wrench and stop at 25lbs. I notice you didn't. can you give some info on this? I just swapped mine out today and tightened until the cup stopped turning. I didn't force it further, just stopped. so, thoughts?

[@IManOPERATOR]

I know it’s 30.5 NM to torque it down. You can do either or, if you’re scared to over tighten or if you think you won’t make it tight enough yes I definitely recommend using a torque wrench, I forgot to give any details in the video about that.

[@RogerM1978]

Great how to. Where do you buy your filters the dodge house it unreal high

[@IManOPERATOR]

Bought them from Amazon, much cheaper then the dealer and also still mopar filters

[@JefeDog]

Great detail, but you skipped over one thing that I'm hoping to learn. When I did this last, the front filter was on very tight, and was so hard for me to break loose. I couldn't use an extension because of the other components directly above the filter. How did you get an extension on there? What length and any angled/swivel adapters?

[@IManOPERATOR]

So the first time around those are hard to break loose. Least mine was a bit too. I changed out my front filter cap to an aluminum one genos has it. Made it much easier to loosen and tread back on. I have learned a stubby socket with no extension also works with a 1/2 ratchet.

[@craighannah9666]

Excellent video. Did you not use the petcock on the front filter because it sat for a day or so?

[@IManOPERATOR]

Thank you, and correct, I’ve even changed the filter with the truck off for an hour, barely spilled anything

[@raidercat9830]

Awesome video dude, helped me out a ton.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Thank you! Happy to help

[@rulyboobear]

So the o ring on each one you slide down to the bottom is what I believe I am seeing in the video. Let me know

[@IManOPERATOR]

Yes that’s an o ring

[@christiancostantini2108]

Truck sounds great. Weight loss?

[@IManOPERATOR]

She bone stock!

[@davidedwards1479]

Thanks for the video! Is that a Tradesman? Its time to change my filters too. System is saying they are at 40%. I changed the oil a couple days ago and want to keep the intervals the same.

[@IManOPERATOR]

No problem. And no it’s a big horn. Always good to change them all together every time agreed

[@christopherfrisch7283]

Ever run into an issue with the rear fuel filter housing being seized on? I watched yours and it came off easy, mine, I had a breaker bar and extension on it and no movement at all.

[@IManOPERATOR]

I’ve never seen or heard of this happening. Did you get that solved?

[@isaiahandchrisvillanuevas5519]

u made it look sooooo easy. thank u

[@IManOPERATOR]

👊🏼

[@rulyboobear]

Sorry for all the commments but don’t see the 12 inch extension in the tools needed that will fit that ratchet

[@IManOPERATOR]

You can use it with or without

[@seant.1662]

Thank you ! I don’t mind some sweat equity !

[@IManOPERATOR]

Of course!

[@diamond_industries]

Great stuff, thanks for posting. Now i know how to change a fuel filter on another truck i don't own yet, hahah.

[@IManOPERATOR]

Lol you know it. I’ll provide all sorts of information you might not need just yet 😂
