Crap. Yeah, maybe it was only fuel then....idk.
It was my first time doing it myself so I wasn't sure what to expect. Is water and fuel expected to flow from that drain port when you open up the valve? I was thinking maybe it was a mixture of both.
I turned the valve (circled in red...
Do you know if I could have somehow damaged anything? Like I said, it failed to start the first go around and the engine was cranking for a good 4 secs..... before I went through the priming process the second time around.
The EcoDiesel's have a fuel filter housing that you need to drain the water from occasionally and replace the fuel filter after every other oil change. It is located under the front driver's side underneath the truck.
This is what it looks like.
Wondering if I did any damage...
Today, I drained the water from the fuel filter. It was a decent amount (almost 16oz water bottle full of yellowish water which smelled like fuel). I did not change or remove the fuel filter or fuel filter housing. However, I didn't realize that I needed...
Maybe it is an older pic, @boogielander seems to have a cutout in his writeup. Boogie, would it be relatively simple to reach/open and attach a drain-hose to the Fumoto valve during oil changes? I have one installed already. It's hard to tell how much space is really there with that cutout.
There seems to be two different pictures of the transmission skids where the oil drain cutout would be. The first pic doesn't appear to have a oil drain cutout? And the other picture does. Can anyone confirm?
I have the 2020 Diesel too, looking to get this as well. Sounds like you bought the whole skid plate package for the Eco. Is there any coverage for the Fuel Filter on the driver's side? Wondering what the main differences are between the packages RCI offers for the 3.0 Diesel vs 5.7 Hemi...
Your dealer must be super proactive?, because according to RAM and FCA they aren't doing the Ram 1500 recall fix just yet. It is still showing 'parts unavailable' on my App and when I check nhtsa.gov/recalls it is still showing recall status as: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available. If...
I asked L Curtis this, but wondering if you have any info on 6112's and setting them on clip location#8....as far as ride quality offroad etc. I am not replacing the stock rears on my Rebel EcoDiesel just yet, though. Just looking for some offroad performance and a more level truck.
What clip are you running on the 6112s? I'm looking to add 6112's on max clip 8 for my 20' Rebel EcoDiesel. I offroad a bit so I am wondering if the travel/ride will be OK on #8.
Anyone running 6112's on their 5th Gen Rebel/4wd EcoDiesels? Going to slap on a pair up front and wondering if it rides good off-road and on-road set on the highest clip (clip #8) ???? I want it to ride nice, wondering if clip#8 is going to ride like crap? I do take my truck offroad...
Lame. I wonder why they are excluding Rams? We've been waiting on this for 12 months. I just called my dealer, and FCA about this today to get an update (before I heard this news). FCA recall rep told me there was no fix and no eta when I gave him my VIN. Glad to hear its out, but...
Nvm. Found a YouTube video showing the process. What's the overall process like? I've changed my own oil and oil filter's before (past vehicles). But never a fuel filter for a diesel. Assuming probably pretty similar/easy.
Depending on how much you drive at night, and also night off-road. Then yeah, if you're willing to spend the $$. If you do little driving at night, then probably go with a cheaper option.
