filter replacement time

[Bolt]

The HFCM needs a 6mm allen wrench.

Yall aughta put one of these on your HFCM, instead of the silly allen head plug that's in there now.

FDDTS - HFCM Water Separator Drain Plug Upgrade

The ford number is 6E7Z-9C082-A, but most can't locate it, I bought it for less than $12 at Powerstrokeshop.com - PSD and Ford Superduty Parts That site's not responding right now, can't find the link right now. Many other diesel sites have it too.

Anybody have any good ideas on the tranny fluid change procedure, other than let the stealership do it?

The old crack the pan and wear a gallon or two always works, but, uh... this stuff really stinks...

You should have a drain plug on bottom of pan, Kleetus. I have removed plug, drained, and then started truck and cycle thru R and D a few times, and you get alot more out because there's no drain plug on your converter. It always helps to put down some cardboard because it will be a mess. And have the parking brake on, natch. The front filter [toilet paper filter] canister can be a real PITA to get off w/out an impact gun. This fluid has a smell of its own, no doubt. Good luck and have fun!
