1/2 drive for the top filter. 35mm for on the frame.

i thought the frame rail cap was 36mm which is the same as the oil filter cap.

On my 05 fuel filter I used an 1 1/8 socket.

haha that's what i hafta use on mine cause of the amsoil by-pass system i have. There's a 90* fitting on the top of the aluminum cap and a big socket wont fit on cause of the fitting...so i just use a big crescent wrench like you said. I do normally use a big socket tho when working on other trucks.

i wouldnt recomend using a 1/2 drive on the top one I have seen them crack and the cap is $60 to replace it. just my 2 cents

the snap on socket I have for 6.0 powerstroke filters is 24mm, 35mm and 36mm

36mm for frame cap and 24mm for top cap.

Every 6.0L owner and/or mechanic needs one of these!
