Hey I'm back one more time. I Uh I think I found that fuel leak I think I did see if I can't get a light in there. Watch this Right here Here it is. I Believe this is it.
it's gonna be. Hang on, Fellas bear with me. What we're gonna look for right back here behind that hose. See that right there.
Look at this fitting right here. Watch this. Look at that loose loose fitting. Let's see if I can't tighten that guy back up.
Foreign. that was. Uh, that's where the leak's at. So I couldn't see it.
it was buried and I couldn't see it without the fender well being removed. Yeah I still can't get to that fitting. Hang on. Oh, we need a different wrench.
I need a multi-angular 19 millimeter wrench? It's Gonna Be Where Are You wrench. uh 19. that one multi-angular this won't reach in there. Uh, nothing in my Arsenal will.
The problem is there's this this hose in the way I can't get on this thing I just need a couple little turns out of it. Nothing major. Quite annoying downtown by myself. Where I got a copyright strike? Come on.
I can't get the tool on it anymore. There's no more, no more space to maneuver. Do I need to take things apart to get to this? Come on there we go. I'm on it now.
Can you see? hey, that's it. Hey fuel line click all right now we're good. Problem solved. That should be the fuel leak.
Well you know, since I don't want to make a liar out of myself and since I did fix the fuel leak and I said I was going to change the filter when I fixed the leak, let's just go ahead and change the filter. It's really easy. You take the filter off, you put the filter on. Some of these systems have like a like a primer valve up here.
You'd unscrew the thing and then you'd Pump It Up This one since it's got a lift pump does not require a primer. Hey I'm going to click these I don't know if this has ever been changed before, may not have I think they bought this truck once and just drove it. Ah, it's leaking fuel. Leaking diesel.
That was like diesel. It wasn't leaking, it's leaking deep diesel last week when we drove it and then we picked it up today and now it's leaking there. We go that out of here. So I just went ahead and dumped all that fuel into the parts washer.
There's really no need to uh to waste it. Contamination: Slide this guy on in right now. Foreign. Let's see if uh, if I can't get the strap wrench in here I may need to get the smaller one I Don't like to use the the plier style wrenches because they can.
uh, they can Dent or they will dent the surface of the filter. can cause uh, leakages and breakages later. everything. Now the cat points at us.
That's good. Come out. Thank you.
Me ow 👉
Yeah, I knew you would get it, you're stuborne that way, hahahaha
Now would have been a great time to have some cheaper wrenches you could grind down to fit in that spot between those lines.
Thank you for the info you provide. Great videos. Can you advise of ANY Auto Repair Insurance Plans that provide good REPAIR coverage AND Pay shops a fair price as well. Thank You "HP"
Ray I worked on those Joints and hoses all my time Working on Electro Hydraulic Systems. Get to the Bench Grinder with some of Tools 🛠️ and make them fit the Job. It will make life a lot easier. Make sure you keep them somewhere in the Truck. Steve Westmoreland 👨🏻🦳♿️😂🛠️👍👍
The wife unit doesn't look too happy to find out she's riding in a mobile fire bomb. I wonder why?
Don't stick on mty dry,add fuel or Howes, top off before ,sometimes it won't catch on,or you suck inside of filter together,just saying better safe than sorry,plus sometimes hand pump can fail,while pumping it up
Always had a soft spot for these trucks. Had a GMC Topkick a long time ago, It wasn't pretty, it wasn't comfortable, but it was reliable. Cat was really proud of the parts and priced them accordingly. An old mechanic at the shop we used had an issue getting some parts from CAT, said it would be at least a week. We needed the truck, so he removed the metal fuel lines that had cracked. He installed some, I think they were hydraulic lines, custom made at a local forklift shop that made hydraulic lines to order. Just used the fittings off the CAT metal lines with the rubber high pressure hoses. Did alot of "custom" fixes like that to it over the years. Had around 500k on it when it was traded (given) to a farmer to haul hay bales.
That filter will never come off without a 3” wide band wrench and an 8 foot cheater pipe! CAT diesels have enough vibration that the filters tend to get tighter instead of loosening.
i was gonna suggest grinding the sides of your raggedest 19 and you hit the right combination …… dang it. lol
I had a fuel filter fall off of a truck when I worked for Pepsi. It just stopped running and shut down. One of the mechanics did not tighten it enough.
Sweet exhaust leak there at the end
That engine runs so good, except for the PCV.
How to replace oil seal on bmw1 front oil seal on crank anything special I should know
Exhaust leak on the bottom, what am I looking at here?
Every time you work with the huei pump, be thankful you don't have air brakes. The compressor & governor tend to get in the way. The huei tends to get in the way of working on air compressor etc
Well done , love your work, what was the vapor leak lower down when engine was running
REEEEEEE I can't have a great day because you forgot to remind me to not forget. And…well….I forgot. 🤣
That's a lot of blow by
I thought that was Phoebe from "Friends" in the passenger seat for a moment ! 🙂
I love your funny edits! 😂
Great job as always Ray
What’s that spraying out underneath?
Just for future reference never tighten those cat filters with anything but your hands…
A re you forgot about that nut behind the wheel… You
Hey Ray when I get my Siamese or my Burmese or my great point I want you to help me with my kitty cat
There looks to be quite a bit of blowby gases coming out of the crankcase vent hose just under the fuel filter Ray. It might be something to measure with a WC/in-Hg Gauge and a flow orifice fitting from CAT or Cummins. They both sell the blowby orifice fitting and all you need is the in-Hg gauge and short 6ft or less length hose. Also, clean the crankcase primary mesh filter screen with your favorite spray cleaner and if it’s equipped with it replace the filter element then test the blowby.
Hope you give Wife Unit back that 10mm, those things are impossible to find when lost. Lost 3 of em last year not fun man.
SooooooomeBODY!
Yeah nah. The easiest way to fix any problem on a Cat is to remove Cat and install a 9 litre Cummins.
Was that venting going on below that wiring loom, straight down from the shiny new filter?
💥💯🙆🕯HOWDY WIFE UNIT!!! 🙋From Calif…just now arrived in ARIZONA…(Again) I moved here 1997…WORKED & LIVED HERE UNTIL MY HEART WENT SKIPPY & LOWER BACK GAVE IT UP AFTER OVER 50 YEARS GLASS…(Yeah…I still cracked)
Nice to see some TLC for the 6500 / 7500.
Sounds like the starter didn't disengage.
The guys at the filter wrench booth in Las Vegas didn’t give you a set? Still using the old school pliers?
That look on her face… 🤣 She must have been picturing you in a massive fireball rolling down the road.
You are really going to hate the last guy that changeed the fuel filter the next time you change the fuel filter…
Seems like a lot of blow by from the down draft tube.
It looks like there is some kind of exhaust leak in the engine?
Come on tell the truth we all know why there's a second video so quickly. Your wife got her new tools today and she went out there and figured out what was wrong. She just let you take credit to keep your street cred. -)
Your apprentice needs a Raise for great diagnosis
Ray fixed the fuel leak…as the new serp belts lays watching sadly, thinking "I was here first".
Lot of blow by Ray I’d check my air filter but I know you already know that Good job on the fuel leak. I tore down hundreds of the 3100 and 3200 series engines at the Cat reman plant in Corinth MS Ran a test cell for 2 years saw all kinds problems and fixed them as they were tested Good engine
grinding wrenches…just saying.
Well Ray this will be your true test.
I see a lot of exhaust down there. I don't think it's supposed to be coming out from under the engine unfiltered. >O
Why didn’t you use your fancy SEMA filter thingy? Or has novelty worn off?
Yo. Party foul for having smash mouth on in the background.
Good evening Ray
There's a box end with a slot made for fuel lines.
What is that smoke coming out from the bottom?
Use a grinder to whittle down your wrench to make it easier to get in there 🤣
suggest wet the filter gasket with diesel before spinning it on.
What happened 2 your magic filter wrenches????
Was it me or did your last shot show an exhaust leak?
Two more jobs of the list while waiting for part's to arrive.
Hey now, get your game on. You're a Rockstar.
But did you connect the ac compressor?
There was something smoking in the start-up video below the wire harness under the fuel filter. Exhaust leak?
Evil YouTube has been handing out strikes and such on a lot of people recently
My room smells like diesel 😎
Ray, perhaps you could consult with the Adept Ape channel. Josh is a CAT Certified Mechanic who works on CAT engined Trucks along with all other makes as well. I think he could provide insight as to what tools and procedures are needed to keep your new business truck running.
Hey that diesel engine you found in that closet maybe it could go in there hmmm project tow hauler
you need an air horn on that thing
she sounds like she runs good
🚒🚒🚒🚒 this is like four times now that you have changed a filter oil filter fuel filter whatever without using your fabulous Las Vegas wrenches what was the whole idea of going to Vegas to promote those wrenches if you're not going to use them🚒🚒🚒🚒
What you doing with the belt left on top of motor?
Great idea to write date of installation on the filer.😊♥️
I've seen guys that work on earth moving equipment use a sharpie to write the date the filter was changed on the housing, somewhere easy to read. If you write like a GOrilla, you may ask the wife unit to print the date for you. Though, if I recall, I thought your scratch was pretty good? Thanks for the video. Subscriber Unit.
you need to lube the seal
Filter clicks lol
Cheers from Nova Scotia
What about that exhaust leak?
Suppressor change……. Knock Knock………………. is that the ATF?
Was that there truck venting crankcase gas to the atmosphere?
If that was my truck, I’d do all filters, all hoses, all fluids inc differentials and bearings.
Ray, where is the music in the background coming from ?
Lincoln Diesel… Yup. I know that guy.
So did the leak stop or not???
not sure if you had diesel baking off or an exhaust leak there
do you think the filter is on tight enough?
I am gonna REEEE I just need to REEEE before I explode. Ray. Please for the love of all that is holy. Stop saying lets see if I can't do something. Why would you see if you cant? you would see if you CAN do something. It's like saying I could care less. It is I couldn't care less etc. Ill buy you a god damn beer if you can say it.
Good grief, you tightened that fuel filter like it owed you money. You’re gonna regret that. Lmao. Great find on the leak.
Love watching Ray's videos, but it is so infuriating sometimes to watch him fumble with the tools when all he needs to do is slow down for a fraction of a second! 🙂
A steam genie is a great investment for keeping things clean and tidy.
That unit has some blow-by…. Adept ape channel has lots of info on CAT engines.
Nothin like a old CAT
What was that smoke at the bottom of the engine compartment when engine was running at the end?
more “maintenance” on this truck. These are some great videos. Are you planning to do an oil change? What about the rear diff or the manual trans?
Take the grass burner off and put a stack on it🤘🏼🇺🇸
Hey while the engine was running, I saw what looked like smoke streaming out from the engine. I hope you get the leak repaired!
while i was watching every video you did.. I surely am not anymore. your channel has gotten so much more click bait the title means nothing now… So i'm done. Southmaine auto for me. Stick with the guys not having to sell you shit thats not happening. I didn't see a fire, Wasn't even close… Shit why dont you call the car trans or a race… just going for clicks anyhow. You used to make content. boo.
Now how that is cant get rinch over that nut😂😂
You are getting a lot of blow-by!
Ok I got Forrest Whitaker eye….. Put some clean oil on the fuel filter oring! I have had to destroy filters due to dry installs!
Hand tighten and I always put some grease on it. It’s nice to be hand tightened if you need to pull it off on the side of the road… been doing this for 10 plus years never had a leak or problem
Hoe about using a good old fashion tubing wrench?
Do you ever go home Ray?
