On a side note… I have probably done over 2000 oil changes in my life and the oil filter on this truck was in the top 2 or 3 of hardest to get off. I ended up ripping the outside metal shell off and pulled out the filter internals. Then I used an angle grinder to cut a slight notch on the base metal so I could get an air hammer on it.

Holy crap it was a pain!!! But it’s off with no damage to the engine (yes the engine that’s probably blown. Haha).
