Give Arlan a big hug from us. And hey, he is a good kid... Buy him a Sprinter! LOL

That is a running gag. She *should have worn gloves in a few videos. In one video it looks like she gave Poppa Smurf a handy. LOL

That is a very risky way to save $40!!!

What year is your van? Did you reuse the WIF sensor or install a new one with the filter?

It's a 2006 shorty 2500 185,000 mi. I reused the sensor. If I unplug the sensor plug, the light stays on. I didn't stress the plug or wires when taking out filter. I took it out today and put it all together to make sure. Fuel within filter was perfect....no water. Light still on. Sucks. Thanks for reply. Great videos.

I'm not sure which video, but one of ours has a link to the tool for removing and reusing those clamps. I think this is the right one. If it is not, will someone please let me know. amzn.to/3xaAYCt

That short hose is silly. It is intended to drain water from the bottom of the filter by loosening the black knob the hose is on. Don't do this.... If you have water in your fuel filter, more effort is needed than turning that silly screw and letting some water out.

Might be T-15 or T-20, but definitely a Torx, aka star-head.

Twist a little as you pull on the hoses. When needed I'll put a pliers on the hose and twist it first to break the adhesion of being pressed to the nipple for years.

We lost a lot of good Smurfs that day.

That little tube is silly and most of our vans lost it more than a decade ago. The screw on top of the filter is to drain water from the bottom of the filter when you WIF light comes on, on the dash. If you have water in the fuel filter, I suppose driving some is better than doing nothing but I'd recommend getting towed to a place where the water problem can be resolved! Draining excess water out of diesel is not sufficient for anything at all, in my opinion. So the hose meant to route the drained fuel-water into a bottle or away from the top of filter is totally useless. The knob should be tight and any time you might think about opening the valve... replace the filter.

@@FloridaVanMan thanks much!

I hope it is at least a straw hat, not wool or leather. :) This video is two years old and the van isn't driven much, but hasn't had alternator replaced yet. You may be right. We are all on our way out, but the alternator seems to be taking a long road out. Cheers. :)

Unplug the MAF and see if it still stalls. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adSpn9tox8CzYJs.html

😂 (I actually removed my air filter insulation because the mice were just using it for bedding 😭)

Folks talk highly of Liquid-Moly but it did nothing for me the two times I used it. I am not a believer in magic that comes in bottles and that is what most of them claim to do. Whether or not to fill the filter: If you have an in-tank fuel pump it will fill the filter. We can hear and feel the pump vibrate at the round bump on the bottom of the fuel tank. If you don't have an in-tank pump you will have two fuel pumps on the front of the engine, low pressure sucking from the tank and filter, and high pressure accepting fuel from the first via short hose between them, possibly a "Y" or "T" hose with 3 ends.

Yea, sorry. This one is a bit less. amzn.to/2YzVvET

Just ordered it. Ty! I didn’t see it at first because I was searching for freightliner lol

Yes, the 2004-2006 have electric in tank fuel pumps that will flush air out of the system in a few seconds with the key on, engine off.

@@FloridaVanMan great thanks, Your videos are the first place I go when I have issues with my 06.

Cut the old filter if needed. The sensor can be replaced much cheaper than $400!! I saved one or two from parts donor vans so if you can't find it cheaper I'll send you one for $100 donation to the channel.

Bryce at KCS? I don't know but I try not to mix politics with van stuff. He is a nice guy regardless of his choice in news sources.

@@FloridaVanMan yes he is.
