I made it down to the cummins dealer and bought a new fuel filter to put in my truck. Can someone post a link to a site that shows how to do this, or give me any and all advise (such as tools needed, etc) Thank You<br><br>Still trying to learn about this new truck, I am loving it so far, just trying to do everything to make it run forever!<br><br>thanks all<br><br>mike

 

Here ya go.

Lots of other good maintenenace info on that site as well.

Just did mine 2 weekends ago using same site, just the 2002 info instead of the 98.

I don't think I have a torque wrench, is it that important to torque it exactly to spec? Thanks again<br><br>mike

 

Just found another page on that site that you might want to look over.<br><br>http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/filter/pre-filt_clean.htm<br><br>Mine doesn't have this so I didn't have to do it on mine.<br><br><br>phox

 

A torque wrench isn't needed, just remember it's sealing with an oring so you don't have to get it King Kong tight. Just snug the nut up and after you restart the truck check for leaks. <br><br>Oh yea, if your's is a bear to start back up like mine a couple quick shots of WD-40 in the air intake will get her firing right up. Have someone turn over the truck while you spray the WD-40. Don't worry the truck won't explode as some people seem to believe. : <br><br>DB

 

Hey Mike, new info suggests that you may be at risk of KDP failure. If you would like to contain the problem, and change your fuel filter, come on over the mountains to the west side this Sat. and we'll give you a hand in fixing the above items.

 

BigK, <br><br>I can't do that this saturday, but I will take you up on that offer at a later date. How much $$$ would I need to do the KDP thing? <br><br>thanks<br><br>mike

 

Here is the site I found to change the fuel filter. Later. <br><br>http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/filter/00fuel_filter.htm

 

Around here, KDP fix is a no-cost item.<br><br>I am jig caretaker for the Pacific Northwest.<br>The jig is shipped around the area to those who need it at no charge. I organize this particular area. There are many others across the country.<br><br>We host get-togethers on a semi-not-so-regular basis, (whenever we feel like it), and do many things. KDP fixes are always popular. It's nice for most folks to know they have experienced help, and all tools necessary, to get this done.<br><br>We plan another event about mid-April. If you'd like to send me your name, address, and phone #, at the e-mail addy below, I will put you on the list. <br>That goes for anyone else in the Washington State area.<br><br>koselinc@msn.com - PNW KDP Jig Caretaker

 

never buy filters from dodge get them at cummins or you'll get soaked.

 

I bought it at the cummins dealer. $7 for the oil filter, and $14 for the fuel filter.
