Ram 6.7L Cummins BOTH Fuel Filter Replacement *HOW-TO*

How to replace your Ram 2500 or 3500 Fuel Filters with the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel motor! An in depth step-by-step tutorial to easily replace BOTH fuel filters. I even called the dealership for a price quote in the video! Very simple process, as long as you have the tools. I saved $300, by doing it myself (DIY) instead of having a local dealership/shop replace them for me! It took me less than an hour and a half with filming.

[@benjohnson5605]

Thanks for the clear video walkthrough and thorough parts list. Your walkthrough got my head wrapped around the entirety of the process. I got the 28mm shallow socket you suggested so I could use it with my 3/8 extensions and torque wrench. The Lisle water sensor wrench also was a definite help. I used the 3/8 ID tubing you suggested on both front and rear filter drains, sliding this tubing into the existing 1/2 ID tubing in the front. For the rear filter I found it easier to spin it onto the truck without the water sensor attached, making it easier to align with two hands. After rear filter was snug I installed the water sensor and reattached the cable. Thanks again for your videos and lists!

[@MotorHead18]

Thanks a lot for the support!

[@robv4053]

For those watching this, everything shown is great until missing the crucial step of priming the system fully. You need to cycle to the run position, without starting, 8 to 10 times (shop manual says 10 BTW) and leave in the run for 5 seconds each time. This is an absolute must! You do damage with what this poster did with labored startup! Absolutely save money changing the filters yourself. Just be sure to prime the system properly in doing so or the money saved will be spent plus a lot more down the road.

[@darrenraines7913]

Absolutely! I had a friend help me change mine just two days ago, and he had me do that exact same thing.

[@davidedwards8940]

He does show the priming step

[@MotorHead18]

I don't do reviews, but after following this video, I was impressed on how informative he actually was. I got all the tools he recommended and used ever one. The job only took a little more than 1 1/2, next time will be even quicker. Now that I have the tools, I will only be out the cost of filters. I was also quoted $400 at a dealer to do this, verses $100 for filters and a little time. Its always nice to have someone lead the way for us DIY'ers and always great to save a buck.....kuto's to the Motor Head.

[@GB-ew8wc]

I recently purchased a 2018 Ram 3500 SLT 6.7 Cummins Fleet side truck and changed the fuel filters for the first time following your great video instructions. Doing it myself saved me nearly $300. I bought on Amazon the tools and tubing and followed your instructions. The job is simpler than it looks. The hardest part was putting the new drain line on the front filter with one hand laying across the engine. It took me three attempts but after that changing both filters was easy. I primed the fuel system 5 times and on the 3rd attempt to start the truck it fired up perfectly. The dealership changed the oil as part of the purchase agreement, again with your help i will be able to do that too in 15000 miles. Thanks for the help.

I ran the forward drain ahead of the track bar. There's a plastic cover with a hole in it just perfect to thread the tubing through and tie wrapped it there. You can substitute a 1 1/8 socket for the 28mm. It is stated in the filter directions for those SAE guys. Thank you for your video! This is the best on the internet, good prep and tool gathering and professional instruction. Took a lot of intimidation out of tacking this job. I changed the filters at 16K and the forward one was pretty clean. I'll probably stick with the 16K intervals unless they come off dirtier. Great job! Thank you!

[@NorthColoradoHome]

Thanks for the video. I just bought and serviced a 2015 Ram 2500. Thanks for the oil change video, too. Couple things... I put the drain tube on the front filter inside of a pipe I had laying around the garage, then let the pipe drain into a container. Much faster than attaching and securing the fuel line you used. On my truck, my 27mm didn't fit, but I had a 7/8" socket and it fit great. That cap is on tight! For the rear, I just used channel locks to take the sensor off. I like you have the fancy tools, but hopefully people reading this will see they can likely do it with stuff they have around the garage.

I've been adding Amsoil Diesel all-in-one to every fill-up. I'm planning on doing a full on-board air system (compressor, horns, airbags, auxiliary connector for tools, inflation, and such; a full spray-on undercoating, and a lift pump. I have no plans for tuning or engine mods, but may end up doing head studs just as a precautionary measure. Not looking to drag race this thing. I want to keep it running at it's best for a long time, and be reliable as it tows my travel trailer.

[@MotorHead18]

@@chrismiller100 Sounds like a plan. I too am wanting a train horn setup that can provide on-board air with the potential of powering air bags in the future. That would be awesome! The fun has begun for you!

Bought my first diesel 3 days ago. 2018 used Ram 2500. First thing I did was change the oil and fuel filters. Thanks for explaining it so well. Now you need to make a video on how to keep my kids greasy hands off my black paint.

[@MotorHead18]

hahaha. good luck, I have had my fair share of black vehicles lol

[@gvc56100]

Just saw this video the other day as my 2017 2500 was due for a fuel filter change, (bought her used with 14K 1/2019) has 26k on her now. The only problem I had was a very tight water separator (rear filter) and what I did differently than you is I kept that valve open with the tube attached when I finally broke the seal on the filter. By doing that it released any pressure and the remaining fuel drained out so there was no diesel in the filter when completely removed. Just getting my arm up in that space was awkward but worth saving the extra $300 (labor cost from the dealership). Btw I bought the wrench for that rear filter..well worth it and the 28mm socket... ..took 3 times like you to get her started...run (foot off brake) waited 10 seconds then off..did that 3 times.. good video..

Thx bro

[@rustystrong6816]

I watched you last year before I changed my filters and I am getting a alert to change my fuel filters so I am going to start to change again.

[@MotorHead18]

Get ‘em done!

[@rustystrong6816]

Finished the fuel filters changed. And really the worst part is the electrical connection that is up against the frame. Hard to push clip in and pull it apart at the same time. I used 2 screwdrivers. Instant start up. Great. Hood till next year. Thanks.

[@mikeyoung6260]

Thanks for this video. By far the best I have seen. One comment- I noticed that the 3/8 ID tubing does not fit the front (I think it was 1/2”). I found that you can slide the 3/8 into the existing tube as a temporary drain.

[@MotorHead18]

Interesting....

[@Pearljammin56]

Thanks for the video, my 2019 2500 doesn't have the sensor on the rear, but as you stated, easy to do! FYI, I taped a piece of plastic bag to the tank so it laid down across the driveshaft into a pan, then loosened the cover with the socket until it was hand tight. The fuel ran down the bag into the tub, and once it had stopped draining I took a small trash bag, opened it up around the housing, and loosened the housing the rest of the way by hand with the bag around it catching the rest of the fuel.. no diesel running down my arm. (unless you like diesel running down your arm :)) .. thanks again!

[@MotorHead18]

I like your style! Nice, Jim.

Cycle the run on off part a few times and it will fill up fuel filters so that it's not turning over so long , other than that great video

[@utubota5522]

@@MotorHead18 haven't started yet. Just ordered the parts. Did you think the aluminum fuel filter cap was worth the expense? It seems to be sturdier than the plastic one, and since I will be wrenching on it, that makes sense.

Links still work. Video is perfect. I hope you have an affiliate deal with Amazon because I am sure you sent them lots of folks who benefitted from this video! I would add the access under the truck is best from in front of the passenger rear tire for the rear filter, and from the front of the truck for the front filter. I could use the two extra sit ups, so it was all good figuring that out. Thanks!

Thank you very much. Second time watching it. Second filter change. Now the oil filter is a real pain in the rear. I doubt I'll ever do that myself again.

[@MotorHead18]

It gets easier every time. Definitely use the clear hosing!

[@AFPECE]

Nice video. Pro tip-put a little oil (new) or even diesel fuel on all of the new o-rings when you install them. Keeps them lubed and much less likely to get "pinched" and potentially leak when you are tightening them down.

[@MotorHead18]

Thanks bro! How was the process for you?

[@ronnmccortney7648]

Super vid, great job, thanks! Saved my son about $600!

[@MotorHead18]

[@dangarcia6709]

all the seals , o-rings-should be coated with diesel before installing, like coating an oil filter seal with fresh oil before installing it, and prime the fuel filters by turning the key off an on about 10 times.

Great video! I’ve had my 2018 Ram 2500 diesel for 5 months and I’ve only got 2100 miles on it. I plan to do the first oil change and fuel filter at 3500 miles then every 10,000 after that. I got a great deal on Rotella T6 with their rebate offer. I got four cases of oil and four OEM mopar oil filters and used a bunch of Amazon prime points and with the $20 per case rotella rebates it was all free. Can’t beat getting paid to buy shit. Just have to be smart and pay off the prime card every month.

[@MotorHead18]

Hard Truth Nice! I’ll look into that. I amazon prime a lot. Going on 18k miles as a daily driver so in 2k more miles I’ll be doing this service again
