Review on Strictly Diesel Dipstick 1994 2003 Powerstroke by Fahmi Manna

7.3 Diesel Power Stroke Only Dipstick Repair Kit Replace a leaking dipstick adapter without having to pull out the engine and lower the oil pan. The dipstick repair kit can be installed in the driveway for permanent repairs. As 7.3 liter trucks get older, oil pan leaks become more common. One of the most common causes of oil pan leaks is the factory dipstick adapter on the side of the oil pan. We've seen a number of interesting repairs to the stock probe adapter, mostly with some sort of sealant like silicone... and some even with epoxies like JBWeld. We also saw the dipstick adapter nut tightened to the point that the adapter warped in the sump (so it would never close again, even with a new o-ring). Whether you have an oil leak now or are building a new engine and don't want to worry about it in the future, this Oil Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit is the once and for all solution! This kit completely eliminates the stock dipstick adapter and replaces it with a new machined aluminum adapter with double o-ring OUTSIDE the oil pan. This kit can be installed while the oil pan is still on the engine and the engine is still in the truck. Best of all, should the o-rings in this kit ever leak, this adapter can be quickly and easily removed and reinstalled with new o-rings...all from the outside of the oil pan!
