OK gang, just got 5k on my 04.5 LLY - and I believe it's time to replace the spin on ally filter.


I checked the DIY forum, and didn't see anything there - and I don't feel like getting bent over by the stealer for a 10 minute job. So, can someone help a brotha out?


I sure could use some instructions (and/or pictures) of exactly what I need to do to change out this filter.


(BTW - the fuel filter is next)


Thanks gang. if I can tackle it during the daylight, maybe I'll take pictures and make a DIY for the next guy behind me.

This should help out for the spin-on.

hey guys i just changed my spin on and it is easier than the oil filter as that wild gorilla also put mine on. anyway back to why im writing my truck has 5800 miles and the fluid smelt burnt bad, it is still the right color but compared to the new fluid smells real bad. i am pulling a 14 - 16k fifthwheel and do have the banks almost always on 2 tried 4,5, and 6 maybe 3 times each but was afraid of damaging tranny. what should i do about hte burnt smelling fluid?
