❓ FAQ

The 2001 to 2017 GM Duramax 6.6L diesel fuel filter housing. Filter heads on other engines use a different bleeder screw.

97363195 and 513081000, the plastic bleeder screw originally fitted to that housing.

One nitrile O-ring is in the pack with the screw. It is the seal that sits against the housing, so it is replaced at the same time.

The plastic hex deforms as soon as it is tightened past hand torque, and it does not spring back. A 6061-T6 screw keeps its hex, and hand tightening is enough to seal it.

Anodized into the aluminium. The same screw is supplied in silver, red, black, blue and gold if you want a set of one colour.

Description

Product Overview

Air bleeder screw AD04-RD is a billet aluminum plug for the 2001-2017 GM Duramax 6.6L diesel fuel filter housing, machined from 6061-T6 and anodized red. It takes the place of the plastic screw 97363195 and 513081000, weighs 4.54 g and ships with a nitrile O-ring. The red finish is the same dye lot across the batch, so a pair fitted side by side reads as one colour.

Key Features

Aluminum where plastic was — the original plug rounds its hex off the first time it is overtightened; a 6061-T6 body can be taken out and refitted again.
Anodized red finish — the dye sits in the oxide layer, so the surface keeps its colour in diesel and does not chip off into the housing.
Nitrile O-ring in the pack — the seal that actually keeps air out of the housing comes with the screw, so there is no second order.
Bleeds the head after a filter change — cracking this screw open lets trapped air escape so the engine primes instead of cranking dry.
Direct fit — the same seat as the plug it replaces; no adapter and no drilling.
