    Brother, you are my fucking hero. I changed out my fuel water separator, and the light didn’t go off. I didn’t know about that other drain valve. I’m reading every article I can find and they say to unplug the connector on the fuel, water separator, and if the light stays on you have a wiring or PCM problem and you need to go to the dealer. Freightliner would’ve screwed me over for sure on a simple drain job. 30 seconds after draining that second one the light went out and the active faults went away. Thank you very much for this video

    Definitely injector cups, thats coolant not water coming out of there, truck will run all day throwing deisel into your coolant and when motor cools it'll flow the other way, coolant into diesel. So you can get by temporarily by draining fuel filters in the morning but you will damage the coolant system eventually with all that deisel.

      I eventually replaced the fuel injector cups.
      The seals were bad allowing fuel to get into the water.
      However, until you replace the cups, repeat the process!!

    A warm hello to you, I am not a mechanic I just play one on TV, I like to start by saying thank you for Sharing, It is said that a little bit of knowledge goes along way, but we got to know why happens what happens, It is important to know or take into consideration the miles That that truck has The maintenance, and the work that has been done to the engine if any, and then from there we can check and double check and maybe triple check By performing a diagnostic and troubleshooting the problem, and I pretty much have to agree with the two previous gentlemen to look into the injector cups, and I say 👀👀 into the injector Oil rings as well, ✌️❤️

    You have red stuff in your filter and that is antifreeze. By draining the coolant fron your fuel system your are not really fixing the problem what you really have is the injector cups. Should get them fix before its too late.
