2016 CTD, cant' get oil filter out!
Trying to get the oil filter out the side wheel well like shown on youtube but it does not seem to be enough room as it's hitting the metal lines! Any trick to this? I know I can come out the top ...

When Ram changed the frame on the 3500 in 2013 and 2500 in 2014 that's when the wheel well vs. "through the top" debate started. In any case, there's no need to mess with the plastic wheel well liner with the latest generation Ram Cummins.Old-Biscuit wrote:x2 This is how I remove my filter every oil change. I just remove the wheel well liner and usually not the wheel. Plenty of room to work over the tire by just turning the wheels to far right. My truck is a 2005 and may be some different.donn0128 wrote:See BOLD highlighted text^^^^^^
For the first oil filter change, jack the RF wheel up, take the wheel off and unscrew the numberous screws holding the inner flap in. This is by far the best way. The factoriy filter is on really really tight. I have a very large pair of water pump plyers that I was able to use. Lacking that, take a large screw driver and drive it through the filter and unscrew it.
On the 2010-2013 2500 and 2010-2012 3500 Ram Cummins I believe you could access the oil filter from the bottom of the truck. Not familiar with the pre-2010 Rams.
