Whats it look like....

Anyone have a photo of a dirty fuel filter compared to a new filter? i'm ashamed to tell ya that i've had the dealership do my fuel filter changes. i have not seen a filter yet. At 31,000 miles. But not any more, i'll get the diesel bath like the rest of ya. That wierd stuff before my signature is my attempt to use a smaller font.

Well, whatever it looks like on yours I hope NO ONE HERE would do something like this frozen caved filter.



I encourage the company's that buy trucks from me to keep 2 extra air filters in the cab just in case.

Check out the rest of my gallery for some real head shakers that we get to see in the shop.

It looked dirty, grimy almost....


Yeah, did an oil change and took my stacks off so Ive got an interesting trio of #2, motor oil, and soot going on. Three handwashing and a good long shower and I still have a hint of #2 on me. Its quite nice...

Like to never got the fuel filter off, swear a 600lb gorilla put it on. Had to do mid evil with a chain style filter wrench. Good thing I was replacing the housing too.... the one that was on there didnt make it.
