2003 Chevy Tahoe Fuel Filter Replacement (FLEX FUEL 5.3L Vortec)

Фильм және анимация

Today I Swapped out the fuel filter on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe
Should be the same on 2003+ Chevy / GM Trucks and SUVs with the 5.3L Vortec as long as it has flex fuel. You can determine if your vehicle has flex fuel by the VIN. The 8th digit will be a “Z” if the vehicle flex fuel.
Fuel filter part # 86623 (Carquest brand)
Tools needed:
5/8 Flare wrench
13/16 wrench
Drain pan ( will be some minor fuel spillage)
Lisle low profile fuel line disconnect tool
Lisle 34750 Low Profile Fuel Line... www.amazon.com...
I also used a standard fuel line disconnect tool.
The Low profile tool is needed for the quick connect at the filter.
The swap can be done without removing the fuel line like i did, it was just easier for me

    Thanks for the tip on removing the whole line that made it much easier. I removed the filter and line like you did, but instead I cut the quick connect tip from the old filter with a fine tooth hack saw as far back as I could, the. stuck the regular disconnect tool in the line fitting and the cut end came right out.

    Great Video! Must be nice to work on rust free vehicles. Where I'm at my Tahoe is just about completely rusted out underneath.

    Anybody know any way to get the line behind the filter that connects to the plastic hoses from the tank. Seems like I’d have to replace the front lines just for that one.

    Nope, says the filter is in the tank, none on the fuel line. Nice

    Bro, after u have the low pro tool in place, take the fuel line and push it towards the filter and hold it there, now use the prying tool that came with the low pro

    I was quoted $200 to replace my fuel filter on a 2003 chevy tahoe.The part is less than $20!!!! IS There any honest mechanics left in this world anymore?!!! Don't give me flag time when it truly takes so little time to do it.

    @@tyscott4538 how much fuel is in the tank? Sometimes my truck won’t start when it gets to 1/4 tank or below and I’m pretty sure it’s my fuel pump / sending unit getting weak. But I can put a gallon or two in and it cranks right up. I thought the filter may fix that but still doing it with the new filter so I’ll be doing a sending unit in the near future.

    It’s above a quarter of tank. yes mines does the same so I keep it away from that line. It’s just not getting fuel I’m clueless at this point.
