Fuel Filter Replacement
If you want to change the diesel engine fuel filter
yourself, here is how to do it:
{CAUTION:
Diesel fuel is ammable. It could start a
re if something ignites it, and you could
be burned. Do not let it get on hot engine
parts, and keep matches or other ignition
sources away.
First, drain any water from the filter by following
the water draining procedure earlier in this section.
Your vehicle’s engine should be off until the end
of this procedure.
If your vehicle has the 6.6L engine, the fuel filter is
located in the engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle. If your vehicle has
either the 7.2L or 7.8L engine, the fuel filters are
located in the engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle, and on the driver’s
side frame rail in front of the fuel tank.
1. Apply the parking brake.2. Unplug the water
sensor wire
connected to the fuel
filter and unscrew
the filter element.
3. Remove the filter element. If there is any dirt
on the filter sealing surface, clean it off.
Remove and reuse the water sensor float
switch located on the bottom of the fuel filter.
4. Install the new filter element.
5. Reinstall and tighten the filter container and
reconnect the water sensor wire to the filter.
6. Use the fuel filter priming procedure earlier in
this section to prime the fuel filter.
7. Tighten the air bleed valve by turning it
clockwise until hand-tight.
8. Start your engine and let it idle for
five minutes. Check your fuel filter and air
bleed valve for leaks.

Valve (EVRV) filter for excessive contamination
or plugging. If needed, clean filter with solution
of soap and water, let dry and install.
(29)= Drain, flush, and refill cooling system.
This service can be complex; you should
have your dealer perform this service. See
Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 397for what to use. Inspect hoses.
Clean radiator, condenser, pressure cap, and
neck. Pressure test cooling system and pressure
cap. For Caterpillar
®diesel engines, always
refer to the Caterpillar®Diesel Engine Operation &
Maintenance Manual for coolant recommendations
and change intervals.
(30)= Change the lubricant. See
Part C: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 397.
(31)= Front axle service: Re-pack upper
kingpin roller bearing.(32)= Air brake service:
•Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect drum brake linings for wear or
cracks. Inspect other brake parts at each
wheel, including drums and wheel speed
sensor wiring. Check brake pedal for
excessive free play or travel (or every
6 months, whichever occurs first) and have
serviced if needed. Check brakes more often
if driving habits and conditions result in
frequent braking. Replace air dryer cartridge
only if excessive oil or moisture is present.
A small amount of oil in the system is normal
and should not be considered as a reason
to replace the cartridge.
•Test air lines for leaks; tighten as needed.
Replace compressor filter.
•Inspect air parking brake chamber for leaks
and damage. Inspect lines and hoses for
leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Also check
all attachments for tightness, wear, or damage.
Note: The spring brake section of the rear
brake diaphragms are non-serviceable.
