- After visiting the local Chrysler Jeep dodge dealer and finding out the cost of a crankcase vent filter change decided to make a video for everyone showing it is easily DIY. Video is my first attempt and I’ve never done it before. Hope this helps some of you and saves you some money.
The one person that didn’t like this video is the guy at the dealership that gave you that quote
Yup and now his boss too.
Dealerships historically rip people off!
lolo 👍🏾
Tip: when you take the cover off put the oil fill cap back on just so dirt or anything won’t get in there.
Most likely it won’t but you never know,it’s always good to be safe as far as this goes!! Great video btw
It does if you open the cap you can see the engine
Thank you for the video, my local dealer quoted me $1200 to do what takes 10min to do. Docs filters has the filter for $69.99.
Dude I really thank you for taking the time out to show dummies like me how easy it is.
Great video. I just passed 67,500 and got the perform service message. My dealer wanted $500. You just saved me $400. Thank you
Thank you man, 1st time diesel owner of 2018 Ram 2500. You saved me about $350. Was a little nervous to start dismantling a $60k truck but you made it easy! Thanks again brother keep the content coming.
Same here dude
I bought the part online for 25 dollars…..
They also charged me 40.26 for the breather gasket. Wish I had done the job myself.
I’m doing this now. Thanks for sharing your video. Wanted to make sure that there was nothing crazy or wild.
My dealer quoted me $2,000 for this service with an oil change.
I was astonished and said, $1500 for an oil change?!? 😂
Got everything through Docs Diesel and I’m doing this service and oil and fuel filters today and tomorrow.
2k that’s crazy
My friend you just opened a lot of peoples eyes to how badly a dealership cheats you for repairs. Thank you for the video. Changing mine tomorrow if it doesn’t rain.
Nice video. I like that you mentioned the socket size. One thing I would recommend is continuing the video through the “Perform Service” annunciation on the instrument cluster. BTW, another video says to turn in the key to the RUN position, then depress the brake pedal twice, then depress the gas pedal slowly twice. Turn the key off and verify that the message is gone next time the key is turned on.
Then you have to run around the truck twice lol. Thanks for the info I wasn't sure about that reset.
@@alittlebitofeverything5090,🤣🤣🤣
The last step in the removal process is removing the oil cap and the first step in re-installation in put the oil cap back on. IF YOU DROP ANYTHING IN THE OIL FILLER OPENING YOUR SCREWED!! FYI tip of the day!
Ditto; an open oil fill gives me nightmares. Drop a penny down it; spend $5000 getting it out.
Reply
thanks dude. I'm about to do this service myself now on my 2017 6.7
Yeah And they wonder why people don't go to dealer after warranty is up they wanted 395 dollars to change bother fuel filters on my 6.7 . I bought fleetguard for cummins for 95 buck for both in kit on amazon and took me 15 minutes
Thank you very much. Did mine today after watching. only thing i did different was I put my oil fill cap on without tightening just so i didn't drop any bolts down the hole!..
Terrific video! Unbelievable how these stealerships operate! Thanks for showing us how quick and easy this service is!
They have no new vehicles to sell, so some dealers, not all are putting a lot of pressure on the service depts. to tote the load of the missing $ that sales can’t come up with. My dealer quoted $330.00. I said I’ll think about it. I have thought about it and many thanks to you tube and those who post! Gods blessings upon you.

1.5 hours labor....LOL....it took you five minutes...WOW... Thank you for the video and making it simple. I plan to do this very soon (which is why I was researching and found your video). This was a great walkthrough!
Thank you for this GREAT video. I hate taking our vehicles to the dealership as I’ve caught them lying about what actual work they say they did, but did not do.
As a first time truck owner, you most certainly have saved us a lot of money for a simple, easy fix. Much appreciated! 😊
Fleetguard CV52001 Amazon $60 May 2020 is same part at half Cummins branded part
1 1/2 hrs labor at $120 per hour for the dealer to do this 7 minute job. Crooks.
Definitely robbing people
Thank you for making this short video. My 2017 is due for replacement now. No caviar and lobster dinners for my stealership!
Can’t guess what he would quote now. Thanx great video. Will give it a try tomorrow
just had the same phone call from dealer , told them no, i knew it was pretty easy and you just confirmed . thank you
Great, to the point video. Watched a couple other guys YT videos on this and yours was the most complete how to! Thanks!
Good job! I have to do that to mine in about a month. Same thing, dealer wanted over $500.00 to do this service. I bought mine from Cummins for $90.00 and ill do it myself.
Thank you for the video! The service message came up on my truck at 67,500. I’m going to give this a shot. 🍻
Just had the same sort of thing happen but only with fuel filters. I have the same exact year and model truck as you have. They wanted $399.50 to replace both filters. Did it my self in 40 minutes. Cost was $123.35 total for both filters.
The stealership also wants 400-500 for service/oil/air filters and oil change.
425 for the CCV filter is madness! Thanks for the video!
I wish I had seen your video before last week. I have a 2016 RAM, needed the same job. I was quoted $850 but I got hit with a $1000 bill with $150 of that for plugging in a scan tool into the scan port. They gave me a military discount so took $100 off of it. I th9inik they have seen the last of my truck.
Great video. Love Kobalt 24v tools too!
Good video. Ive got a 2018 6.7 and do all my own work. Tranny, front n rear dif, transfer case and engine oil changes and fuel filter changes and save hundreds of dollars in labour costs. All are simple to do. Will do the def system delete too as soon as warranty is off. Keep the vids coming and help folks save a ton of money
For this does a message pop on the screen?
Amazon sent me one today f these by accident….lol…. Guess I’ll just change mine now, 2013 RAM 3500 Dually. Thanks for video… VERY HELPFUL anytime you can save a buck.
By the way, a front wheel hub cost me $900 at dealership, I’m doing other side and will post when done.
Great video. Swapped out my CCV filter on my 2018 3500 after watching your video. 15 minutes. Thanks!
Excellent video sir. Pro tip... put that oil cap back on first so a bolt cant get dropped in.
Great demonstration with one suggestion. Please put the oil cap back on before installing bolts. If one or anything falls in it will be a problem.
nice video...remove oil filler cap last and put it back on first...then you reduce chances of dropping a bolt in the engine.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I am a fledgling mechanic , This kind of information is invaluable!
Thanks man! Great to see that is a relatively easy driveway job. Fixing to do a DEF full exhaust replacement so I guess I can do thaat at the same time.
Nice video, thank you. I have watched several CZcams videos on this procedure. I am surprised that not one takes the precaution to cover the oil fill to keep one of those bolts from dropping in. I'm doing this tomorrow, if I dont cover that opening, I can almost guarantee I wull be the first!😢😢
Thank you so much for this video, I knew it was an easy job but I did not know it was that easy this dealership will try and get you for every penny that you work so hard for that’s why I always try and do my own work.
might be the best youtube video ever, my appreciation.......
They charged me over 600... I only had 6 months of warranty left and I was way under on mileage... warranty was over for me around 70000 miles and that was deleted along with a few other things. I was quoted 495$ for a u joint and did it in my driveway for 40 bucks...
Thank you, great video and a HUGE savings! My Son works at an outo parts store, part cost my $48.90...took me 10 minutes!
Thank you sir you explain that very well thank you for the education God bless you wish you all the best in your life you save me a lot of money👍
Thank You I just finished in less than one hour on my 2015 Ram 2500👍
Just what the bank account or wallet ordered.
My wife and I just purchased a 2016 Ram Laramie 3500 6.7 Dually. I’ve never owned a truck let alone a diesel but I have wrenched on a few vehicles.
Anyways again I appreciate the video.
Universal joint that's a special tool, upcharge of $150
Thanks for how to video. I got 2015 Ram 2500 shop manual from ALLDATA DIY website for my 2500 Ram Cummins diesel and they had similar procedure for CCV replacement. They followed what you did almost to the letter, but they suggest removing old valve cover gasket and replacing it with a new one, in addition to common shop requirements like disconnecting the batteries, and hoses to the valve cover, which probably isn't really necessary. For your info torque setting on all those 8mm bolts is 10 N-m or 89 in-lbs. Did you have any oil leaks around valve cover after the change? Thanks
Just did this replacement on my 2014 3500. Excellent video, thanks.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you soooo much for this video!!!! Saved me some money & possibly some broken wire clips lol. Very excellent & easy to follow video!!!!
I hope you’ve made AT LEAST $400 in monetization from this video. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your video. It's gonna help alot of guys save some dough.
Great video. The newer rams require a deep well 8mm on the back three.
I’m no dummy, just new to Cummins, so I’ve put this service off for maybe 5-6k miles over it being due.
I think I may have done it in about 12 minutes, including rounding up tools.
Thanks so much! ❤
Thank you. I'm changing out mine today.
Outstanding!!!
Two man job at the dealership including lunch for both.
Thanks for making this my man!
Great video! Short and to the point.
Great video. But now how to reset the dash so it clears out and stops telling me to change it??
Ignition switch to “ON”, don’t start. Brake pedal 2x, then accelerator all the way down 2x slowly.
You are awesome, easy peasy!! I was just quoted half a day and $960!!!?? Ya no!!
Dealerships are ridiculous, got quoted 2 days ago for cab lights on my 18 Cummins and they wanted $900 just for the labor. I already had the OEM light kit just didn’t have the time, after hearing that I made time.
Thanks man. Now I go do everything myself on my 2017 Laramie
Thank you very much
Great video thank you you sure saved me a ton of money
Great job man thank you for educating me very much appreciated👍
Do you have to reset the computer
Jeepers now that’s an all around the house screwdriver if I’ve ever seen one.
I have one that looks very similar that’s used all around my home. From my wife who uses it sometimes for gardening to my kids who leave it somewhere outside to me in the garage.
It definitely adds a great patina to the metal finish that’s for sure.
Almost forgot but what brand of filter did you end up using ? I was going to speculate at $100+ dollars you probably went with Mopar/Fleetguard?
Thanks for the video.
✌🏽
Fantastic video work .. I was wondering if that valves cover didn’t have gasket on it when you replaced the crankcase vent filter ? Plus, I would like to see you reprogram that on dashboard cluster to clear after doing the filter replacement either with old school key starting or push starting button are something I’d like to see and learn
Thank you
I think when dealerships quote job times, they must be including the time your vehicle is sitting in line waiting to be pulled into a bay🤦♂️
Well done…..
The only thing, I would add. At all times, fumbling around under there. Screw your oil filter cap on, to prevent anything falling inside the engine. Like an 8mm bolt.😂
Did this service bring a message up at 67k? If so I assume that what I need. I tried to erase message today b4 I started and it come right back on. I’ll see tomorrow if it stays out when I actually change it.
That's what they charge to change out the fuel filters also! Hopefully this is not a stupid question, but is there going to be oil in there after you remove the old ccv filter?
Thank you for the video. I don’t have a extra 400 bucks burning a hole in my pocket.
Appreciate the video bud 👍
Thanks for video , my dealer ask over $700 change mine they claim
Thanks. This was super helpful.
Very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Excellent video
Awesome
is it hard to reach from the front of the truck on a ladder?
Once this filter is changed did you have to “erase” message on the truck or did it remove its self?
You have to reset it.
Great video you make that look like a piece of cake👍
The bolts probably was very tight it's just that your using a very stout 24volt kobalt impact to break bolts that might be 15ft pounds...
Can't get the gasket back on how do u put it back?
You forgot to reset the engine service required message.
Great video!
How do I get rid of the service light after I replaced the CC filter???
Great job
I bought this filter at my local dodge dealer $300 bucks....Unbelievable.
How and the heck are they getting an hour and a 1/2 for that?
Great video
Great video.
How do you clear the perform service message?
I just bought the filter from Amazon $36 and change for the filter
👍
Thank you sir
thanks
Does the "Perform Service" Message automatically reset? or is there a process to reset it?
Dodge and Ram are two separate divisions. All Ram trucks produced after 2008 are just Ram Trucks, not Dodge Ram.
How many miles you need to change that filter?
