Please explain. I have changed mine twice with no issues at all.
For the average person laying on their back draining diesel fuel out of the filter ,and removing, is just a blast, hell ya its a PITA . The cummins compared to other motors is more difficult in the maintenance side of thinks. Taking turbo hoses off, buying special tools, just the awkwardness of changing filters is a PITA.
How many threads on other trucks do you see on just the subject of removing the engine bay fuel filter cap, or what way is better thru the fender or taking parts off the motor to remove the oil filter, no other truck comes to mind other then the Cummins.
Why try to minimize the fact it is not that pleasant to do some of the maintenance on the Cummins , but a necessary evil . :(
