I suggest a 6-point socket over a 12-point to avoid damaging the plastic filter housing. Lisle part #14500 will do the trick. Good luck DIY’ers.

My 2018 has 160k miles on it with no issues at all so far, incredible engine and truck man.

Good video. I appreciate your proper demo of the Priming process; other vids go straight to “Start” which isn’t correct.

To keep the plastic nut on cap from rounding off I put a piece of paper towel between the cap and socket and it makes for a more snug fit.

Or get the six point instead of the 12 point socket.

My filter looked just as dirty/black at 11,000 (2% life). Great video, thanks

Wonder if you can use the 2020+ def tank on the 17-19 l5p. Much better place then the eye sore it’s at now.

Great video - thank you!

Good video and informative. I have a 2021 Chevy Duramx and am interested in this aftermarket housing. If you would research this and get another video out on all the neat aftermarket items. Thanks

* Sorry For This Long Read * Thank you for this video. I got a job as a welder with a concrete company. I told them up front that I know how to weld, but that I suck at it. I also told them that i am a dedicated and fast learner. But then one day a hitch on a crane truck broke. They asked me if I knew how to fix it, and then one of their gasoline trucks sprung a transmission leak. I've been building cars since I was a kid. I said sure. Then they asked me if i knew anything about hydro systems, diesel and heavy machinery. I lied through my teeth. I said yes. I have no clue what I'm doing. And yesterday I spent an hour just trying to find this dumb fuel filter. So thank you.

Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Thank you. Very helpful and made my life easy!

Do you have a video on how to disconnect the fuel line at the filter housing?

Great video Thank you 😁

Great video!!!

Did u mention someone out there sells the aluminum lead for that fuel filter ? What company is that ?

Finna change fuel filter 1st time and it’s at 55,000 miles. Got it deleted at 30,000. Never had any problems. Maybe it helped occasionally putting the stanadyne diesel additive and deleting it of course

FYI… next time, there is a small drain port in the center bottom of the housing. See how it works when you have it off. You can break the vacuum and capture any water/debris before you unscrew the cap.

Thanks for the informative video. The first time I got the filter from your link it was just as described. Bought one last week and it is not the same filter. No markings at all on the filter and the box was not AC Delco, just brown paper box.

Turn the truck on, it’s the only way I am aware of.

That looks tight! 😬 If it ain’t tight, it ain’t right.

how’s it holding up? just got me one.

Seems like an oil filter wrench could work on these? Or is it too tight? I hate one-use tools …. Better than going to the dealership tho.

Thank you very much for proper procedure. Wish Chevy would have put into book.

You don't need a billet cap. I'd be concerned if whatever metal they used will rust and clog your injectors, and whether they metal threads are going loosen with the plastic housing. Just buy a new cap when it gets rounded off, the GM parts catalog shows it costs $7.28 MSRP. If you wrecked one every time you change the filter, you'd still save money.

How so? A billet ALUMINUM cap is $40 or less within 60k miles you’re over the cost of one that lasts forever.

Thanks for the video, time to do this on the #nogreaterlove build…can I borrow that 36mm tho😏

Why not get a 6 point socket instead of a 12 point . You have more surface area on the nut. I change my fuel filter around 15000 miles. I have not had any problems getting it off. Yes 1st time filter change canister was on real tight

Yeah on my 2020 I come to find u need to change it like every 10k that’s all it’s really good for

I CAT swapped my 2019. Makes it pretty darn easy and the filtration is better.

Totally agree with you, just because I do that kind of work often

The black crap is not actually harmful. It is some compound that is created becuase of the extreem pressure of the injection sysem and is carried back to the fuel tank in the return fuel line. It is not abrasive and doesnt hurt anything even though some of it gets caught in the filter.

It's gonna get rounded because you used the wrong socket

That's bad. As a filter traps dirt, the holes in the media get smaller and it's able to catch smaller particles. A new filter has about 60% efficiency for the first 20% of its life, reaching peak efficiency at 20-100% capacity, then starts to drop to about 80% for the next 40% overcapacity. Changing filters too soon is worse than changing them too late.

@@straightpipediesel your sure about that, it makes sense. I was thinking about changing mine at 50% every time with the oil but I may take your advice. What % do you think 20 ? I just did my first at 15%

Diesel has tar in it! That why it gets black like that

I'd get rid of that junkie 12 point real quick

Bio diesel Will turn them black really fast. Treat your tank with “ howes” fuel treatment, it’s the only one that eats micro organisms which is in bio diesel.

You won't "hear "the filter priming, you hear the fuel pump pressurizing the system. This could have been filmed in 5 minutes but still pretty good. If you buy a 6 point socket and put it on squarely and back up the wrench with your hand you won't have any problems and they shouldn't crack. I removed and installed the 3 on my ford 6.0 for 18 years with no problem.
