How to Service a Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins! Detailed..no nonsense tips and tricks.

What happens here

Gather all the necessary tools and products for the service. These include a NAPA Gold Fuel Filter (part #3585XE) and a NAPA Gold Oil Filter (part #1607). For cleaning the air filter, a Super Clean cleaner is used (the filter shown is a Pro Dry oil-free air filter). Specific tools include a Hyper Tough oil filter wrench (or general filter wrench), a Klein Tools 11-in-1 multi-screwdriver for hose clamps, a Craftsman 3/8 inch drive ratchet with an extension and appropriate socket for the oil drain plug, and a 1/2 inch drive ratchet with a 29mm socket for the fuel filter canister. Also, ensure you have a large oil drain pan (the engine holds a significant amount of oil) and Rotella T6 full synthetic engine oil.

Goal: Collect all necessary items for the truck service.
