Please re read this. If you can make sense of it, more power to you sir. 💪🏼

Awesome! Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

Hey man, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Awesome!!! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you! It’s super easy to change! Very pleased so far.

@@linksgarage1985 Can't go wrong with CAT filter's.

Thank you! Plenty more Duramax vids on the channel! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

K Wilson - Thanks for watching!!

I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for watching Tim!!

The clicking noise at idle is the high pressure oil pump I had a 2020 and now I have a 2021 they both did the same thing and I talked to my mechanic and it's not a problem it's just annoying

Stuff happens my man! Way better then the little “country girls” wearing the flag to be “cute”. You meant No harm bro you’re all good

@@michaelratcliff4440 thanks man! My most negatively commented on video. Intention was pure, execution was bad. Live and learn! 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼

It’s a flag not a big deal at all. If someone is hung up that much on a flag then they need to re-evaluate their mental status

Hell yea! I’m jealous! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!!

@@linksgarage1985 Yea man! Good stuff. 👍

@@linksgarage1985 Did you do the PPE double Deep external trans filter? Trying that one now. I have both the CAT fuel and oil filters and decided to do the PPE trans filter also.

@@gmanbeavis - I sure did. Check out the vids on the channel. I’ve done lots you may be interested in. Here is the link to the PPE trans filter. I am also going to switch to the PPE oil filter. Same size as CAT, better filtration, no adapter needed, and it has the anti drain back valve to prevent dry starts. Here is the video to the PPE trans filter! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-tWJjCmPPM.html

@@linksgarage1985 yes I looked into the PPE oil filters, and I guess I read it wrong. I thought they had the same filtration as the CATS, but just with a bypass valve. They are significantly more expensive than the CATS.

50calprepper - BMP replied to my vid and told me they would tighten up quality control. Have had zero issues. Love the spin on CAT! Thanks for watching!!

Christopher Chase - Hell yea! Thanks for the compliment! And I just replied to Ismael in the comment section on this very topic. (To much to re write). Check it out. Stay tuned, much more L5P content to come!!!!

I went to school to be a diesel mechanic. I know fleece is a big brand and they make great stuff. Can’t speak for this particular filter. And watch some vids on the CAT vs Donaldson filters. My opinion the CAT is the better filter. But that’s just my opinion. They will both surely do the job.

@@linksgarage1985 cat does have great filters but the Donaldson filter that comes with the fleece filter head has a water separator. The cat filter in this video does not have water separation

@@robertmilic7807 you are correct. The need for a water separator is only useful if you have water in your fuel. The major source of water in your fuel is filling up at stations that don’t frequently refill tanks. I fill up at a major truck stop that refuels almost daily. I have never needed the separator. But I am sure it is useful for someone. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

Other than unscrewing the factory filter, I’m not sure how to drain it. The place in the center I thought was a drain, I believe I was wrong. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

Congrats on the rig! I have lots of L5P videos in the channel. From turbo piping, intakes, steps, exhaust, LEDs etc. might consider reviewing. As far as the lope/ shake is concerned. Mine has a slight shake. You can’t really feel it though. It’s more audible. Maybe some other guys in the comments can offer input. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

@@linksgarage1985 thank you sir! I noticed you do have good stuff on your channel and subscribed this morning! Already watch your CAT oil filter mod. My lope/shake is not bad just noticeable. Thank you sir for the reply. I’ve owned 5.9’s Cummins and a powerjoke which I traded it in for the Duramax and very impressed right now with the Duramax and 10 speed transmission.

@@screamingeagle9553 I swapped the CAT to a PPE filter. Videos on that one as well. 💪🏼. And the 10 speeds are nice!

Place market performance

Been about 8k miles. Will be doing a follow up next oil change. I’ll swap them then. Don’t drive it much so it may be a while. Today was the first day it was started since before Christmas! No complaints!

The Banks was replaced with a WC fab intake. You can really hear the turbo now. Should check some later videos on the channel. Lots done since this.

Wanna sell your banks intake?

@@rzrryder28 no thanks. I think I may keep it.

Yes. The CAT offers a finwr micron filtration. And it’s about 1/2 the price as OEM. Plus it’s a spin on. No need to remove a cover. And not sure about the aluminum covers. I would think you could spray it with WD40 and it should be good to go.

Yes. I did not know the rules of the flag. Someone educated me. If you watch any of my other videos it’s never happened again. And it won’t. Thanks for watching!

Leave him alone damn. There’s people burning and wiping there ass with the flag. At least he’s got a flag

Spin on vs cartridge style filter. Plus the CAT filters offer better filtration, and out 1/2 the cost. Thanks for watching!

Ismael Godina - this may not be the correct response. But the main concern is getting Diesel with water in it to begin with. I go to a very high traffic truck stop that gets new diesel tanker loads daily. Rather than a small place that the diesel sits on the tanks for extended periods of time. I also have ran a fuel additive (hotshots secret EDT every single fill up since the truck was new) never had an issue. When I removed the factory setup, it had ZERO water in it. Hope this helps. I think there is an optional cat filter similar size with a build in petcock so you could drain it if you want to. Thanks for watching!

I do believe that they also sell a water relief filter too.

You can get CAT filters with drains. And so far I love it

Yes. I think it’s normal. Was that way when it was brand new. 120psi when cold. Drop down to about 60 or so when hot.

It’s normal mine does the same thing

@@linksgarage1985 I’ve never really seen much water in my fuel bowl either just kinda curious. I have seen a bit of shavings in there a time or two...and merry Christmas to you to thank you

@@jaimeceja4114 very welcome. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

Well it doesn’t write to the factory ECM. So I would say no. I wouldn’t take it in for warranty work with it on. If I had to take it in I’d swap it out. But it’s not detectable. Thanks for watching!

Every other oil change. Overkill yes. Cheap insurance yes as well. Thanks for watching!

@@linksgarage1985 Scott thanks for the info. I just bought my 18' GMC denali L5P this March and starting to get the tricks and tips are helpful. THANKS AGAIN

@@honda70kd - No problem. Consider subscribing! I have a ton more L5P videos on the channel, intercooler piping, intakes, turbo horns etc.

ZERO COMPLAINTS!

NSWFFTP- Nothing negative to say! Haven’t changed the filter yet. Have quite a bit of life left. But truck has been doing great! Zero impacts to factory setup. No check engine lights etc. I love the less expensive and better quality filter option. And easier to change. Spin on!

Scott Link good to hear. Thanks for the response!

NSWFFTP - No problem! I am new to this. Trying to help some folks. Consider subscribing! More to come! I’ll keep you posted on filter changes etc.

What about concerns with water separation. I know the factory fuel filter has the media for water separation. Does the cat fuel filter offer the same protection?

Rewatched this and noticed that you left on the small Oring down by the tip of the water sensor, I also noticed while watching the BMP video that they removed the small Oring. Notice any anomalies?

Quicker filter changes, less expensive filters than OEM (significantly) and 2 micron filtration vs OEM 10 micron filtration. Better filtration should promote extended injector and pump life.

@@linksgarage1985 thanks Scott. My L5p is currently getting the injection pump and injectors replaced. I will look into purchasing this.

@jaycee _ 70,000 miles. It runs like a champ now. Smooth idle, before it felt like a diesel from the 80s 🤣🤣🤣

Christopher Chase - google sir. Quick search.

@@linksgarage1985 whats Google?

I sure can. It’s about time to change the filters anyway. Maybe I’ll do a quick follow up for you. I appreciate you watching! I’ll tell you now, I’ve had zero issues in about 2 years of use.

Already did. Just posted a video about it. Check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ApA-tRL1q5I.html

You don’t know what your talking about.

I didn’t do the FASS because the L5P comes factory with a lift pump. Factory fuel system and fuel injectors support very big HP numbers stock. So I just did filter upgrade. Didn’t see the need for my application. And I’ve had ZERO issues since. Thanks for watching!

@@linksgarage1985 Cool...Still picking out my 2018-19 L5P Truck and doing a little geek research in the meantime! Thanks for the response!

No problem. Glad to help!

Those burrs on the threads were there because they clearly over tightened the filter pulling so hard on the threads it pulled some metal off them.

@@allamerican7830 and to not make the threads the same as the factory is baffling as well.
