Lol. I know the feeling. Have trouble getting my big paws in there myself. I’m lucky when Triston is around. He can get in there much better than me.

🤣 Hain't nuttin wrong with cut'n up, Mills, I believe I heard your name right?😄 Brother, I'm lovin your content, it keeps reminding me of everything I got to do to my 7.3 lol 😆. Where did you find that fuel bowl lid, I like the raised nut for a socket, mine resembles yours but it just has the square hole for a ½ in extension. Keep up the great work my friend! I'll be here to watch! Jay.

Enjoy my friend. We had some fun that day. Had to cut a little out so y’all don’t think we are totally retarded. That cap was on the truck when I got it so not sure where it’s from. Some of the filters come with caps and each is different. I’m not a fan of the square ones. They seem to strip easy. I like the nut ones and the ones with other shit to grip if that strips. Glad u got a laugh.

I am new to the channel will you have the opportunity to make a video of your common mistakes Diesel owners make when they are working on their trucks?

That’s a very interesting idea for a video. Have to give that some serious thought. Now if ur talking about “my” common mistakes that’s what editing is for. Lmao. And we probably ain’t got that kinda time. Lol. If ya have any questions feel free to hit me up.

To be honest the mistakes I see are people not understanding the way these trucks work and just firing the parts cannon without taking the time to learn how to diagnose. And people doing half ass repairs that just cause more trouble. Is there something specific you are interested in?

I have just replaced the autozone valve twice. Both have leaked through the drain tube with the valve closed not sure why or how but it’s a big leak when engine is running. Anyone have the same issue before. It’s got me going crazy lol.

I haven’t run into this problem. If the two Autozone drain valves leaked through the valve to the tube they may have a bad batch. I’d try another brand. I get a lot of 7.3 parts from Pensacola diesel. And they have the valves. I would also check fuel bowl for cracks but that wouldn’t seem to leak the way yours is.

@@bayoudiesel I got the valve from Ford today installed it. Truck is running really good. No leaks anywhere! AutoZone valve stay away from. I wanted to get back to you sooner brother but my batteries were dead. I had to charge them it took most of the day before I could start it. I’m sure you know these engines require full juice on both batteries
