    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    Well that’s right from the horses mouth so… Believe what you want.

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    It will be a new lid design with automatic air purge valves for what I hear…

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    While im sure this will help, this is still a bandaid. They need to get the redesigned lid / housing out so that it isn’t trapping air at all.

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    Updated TSB as of 2/19/2026 on this issue. There’s an update available that addresses the longer crank times, as well as a host of other malfunctions / errors. They’re changing the pump prime sequence to run longer / harder in order to help purge the air out.

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    They want the batteries pulled so that the person changing the filters doesn’t inadvertently trigger a fuel priming sequence by opening the driver door. That’s how they’re programmed now. Used to be programmed to prime on pre-start ignition on. Now they do it sooner.

    DPF issues poll

    Need to be more specific. Wix has, at minimum, 3 different versions of the 46930 filter in play at any given time: one manufactured in USA, one manufactured in China, and one manufactured in Mexico. The US-manufactured one is identical to both Mopar 53034051AB and Fleetguard AF27684, and has...

    DPF issues poll

    I voted Archoil because that seemed to be the most helpful on my 22. But it was also important to use the correct engine air filter. Mopar 53034051AB or Fleetguard AF27684. Any of the aftermarket Wix / Fram, or the wrong mopar filter (68517554AA) and it would go into significantly shorter regen...

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    100% Ford still using the CP-4 HPFP to this day, despite a significant number of failures.

    2025+ Fuel Filter Housing Air Issue

    That’s a pretty debatable standpoint. Track records speak volumes, and from where I stand, I think their track record is lackluster.

    Glow plugs on 2025 Cummins

    One of the most under-utilized option on these trucks. By. Far.

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    it’s like that Mopar tech on YouTube pointing to black engine oil draining out of a Cummins, remarking that 10k miles was “too long”, and proceeding to rub some used oil between two gloved fingers and claiming he can “tell that it doesn’t have the same lubricity as brand new oil” Anything to...

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    Yea that’s pretty frequent. Is the truck completely stock with genuine filters?

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    167 for iron is heinously high, especially at 44k miles. These 19+ trucks tend to contribute more iron in the oil than previous years, based on all the UOA’s I’ve seen. Fuel dilution is also very high at the 6.5%. Rotella doesn’t handle fuel dilution well at all, which is why your SAE 40 oil...

    Plastic Knock Out - Rear Bumper - Installed Block Heater Outlet

    Kussmaul Auto-Eject plugs They’re pretty cool. Can use them to provide shore power, charge batteries, etc etc. We had them on all of our trucks as well. They powered our onboard mini fridges full of bottle water and charged all of our cordless tool batters, portable radios, etc. They disconnect...

    Plastic Knock Out - Rear Bumper - Installed Block Heater Outlet

    If you’ve never had one where you forgot to unplug, backed out, and the plug decided to stick (because you were stupid enough to use an extension cord with a locking plug), then recoil back like a spring and take out half the plastic of your front grill in -2°F weather….. You’re clearly not...
