Great video: My only suggestion is to those when BUYING the new filter= Stay away from the super cheap Rock Auto carries! Stick to a name brand. Why you ask? Why not the $2 filters instead of the $8 + kind? Because I just re-changed my filter UNDER a year due to it rusted thru and started leaking. If you buy from Rock Auto- look for name brands.
there is no such thing as a 8.1l gas engine ! and then you claim a 2006 and up but you use a 2002/. you are so full of crap!
Hey i noticed the battery light came on the message center when you cranked it up. I8s that a normal message because i get it every time i start my 02 after sitting for a day or 2.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to use a 16 mm line wrench on the fuel line side to prevent the chance of rounding the nut off
I always use a 5/8 flare nut wrench with the 20mm wrench.A very plugged up fuel filter is one cause of a fuel pump failure.Some 2004 GMs don't have a fuel filter,seen this with a 2004 GMC Savanna van.Amazon is going to be cut off by Dorman sometime.Dorman is not liking that they are not selling their products at Dorman's prices.Found this out from an Auto Value auto parts store rep last week,he received a notice from Dorman and it shown Amazon on the list.
It's easy to understand when to change the filter based on the owner's manual but what if you buy a new car and you don't know when it was last changed? Like, should you change everything, coolant, fuel filter, oil change? If the car was running ok and whatnot
