    Oil filter cutting tool

    I bought an oil filter cutting tool off Amazon. $30.00 delivered. What a cool tool. Just a lot of fun cutting open filters and seeing what they have inside. I used to use a hack saw… not so much fun. Messy and filing in the filter kinda skew the results. Just thought I would share. Syleng1

    I had to remove the intake off my 2018 6.4 in a work truck. 2500 to be exact- vin “J” Right behind the throttle body is a twist cap- so I twisted it. What’s it for?
