[oledirteh]

Here's what I made. Absolutely clean filter replacement, without a single drop escaping!

These chassis fuel filters are brutal. I tried draining it first the other day and still got a good splash lol. Good Idea

I'm a diesel mechanic so my wife is well aware of my cologne. At least I work out of town so I'm clean when I come home.

I used to get wet. I found that if you put a hose on the drain, open the drain, and then start loosening the filter until you have an air gap, it will allow it to drain the filter better. I no longer get a bath.

The trick is to allow airflow into the top of the filter to replace the fuel as it’s draining.

Installed my new TruXedo. Now I need to find stake pocket covers, the center and rear stake pockets aren't quite covered. Install was easy enough, it went together in about an hour and appears well made. Time will tell.View attachment 70960

Truxedo carries the stake pocket covers.

Yes. Went with the Premium option.

Fresh oil at only 16,498 Mi.

Hate changing it at 64% life left, but it was a bit overdue on time. No regen issues with my truck, but better safe than sorry particularly with all the lifter issues some are seeing. Still quiet as a mouse except for the unfixed chipmunk belt squeak.

I know it's fake (but fun), but 45PSI at idle looks good for the pic. It was 36PSI before the change.

Washed it, rotated the tires, and adjusted the tire pressures....

Finally got around to painting and installing new bumpers, grille and aux control this weekend. Have to run more wires to the back for inside bed lighting and bag compressor I ordered.

Have you ever had success with the recovery mats? I find they are a good idea with minimal results

Yup, exactly what is sitting on my shelf. Plus some Fleetguard air filters. I change mine around 7000 miles since that is all I put on each year.
