I just replaced the 2 fuel filters on my 2017 Cummins for the second time since we bought the truck.
It went quite a bit faster this time. It took longer to drain the front filter than it did to actually change out the filter.
The rear one was still a PITA! There's almost no room to get your arm between the drive-line and the DPF to disconnect the electrical plug.
The other thing that bugs the crap out of me is that you always get a shower of diesel when the filter is removed.
I've tried removing the sensor after draining and got the shower when the sensor came off. I tried draining and removing the filter with the drain still on and still got the diesel shower.
Anybody figure out a better way because I'm not paying the dealer $400+ to do it.
