The cost is a bit intimidating, but they stand behind their product and it's bulletproof in design.

Like many others, my oil pan is warped in the area of the oil pan adapter. I checked the fit of the new one and it doesn't sit flat. I took a hammer and flattened the pan a little to make it flat where the adapter goes. Just in case, I applied a middle coat of ultra-black silicone to keep the o-rings sealed. The new adapter is solidly built and doesn't bend or warp like the original so I'm sure it will work great. The price is too high but once you see it you will understand why. No leaks yet

Cons
  • Slightly dented

Leaking oil adapter problem solved

A robustly designed and built solution to a common 7.3L engine lift problem that works with either version of the 7.3L adapter position. Installation was relatively easy (don't forget to use red thread sealant before installing the bolt). It took me a while to align the screw to start screwing it in. Just take your time and it will fit. The only reason this product doesn't get 5 stars is because of the price. I've used three products to solve this problem and this would be my top choice if it…

Pros
  • 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!

Problem fixed permanently

I noticed I had a terrible dipstick leak and went the cheaper route and the weatherseal patch method. After spending $45 on this kit (I ended up leaking not where I started), I went ahead and bought this overpriced part. Yes it is overpriced. However, there is NOTHING else on the market that does what this product does. It wasn't that difficult to install, but here are a few tips to help. First, order a 45-hole brush and safety wire. I wrapped the wire tightly around the hole brush and pushed…

  • Nothing

To me. Worth every dollar!

I love this product for its easy installation and easy weekend savings. I'm not thrilled with the price, but without it I'm left with two painful options: fix (my unfortunate first choice) or remove the oil pan. Had I not initially tried the cheapest gasket replacement option without removing the sump oil (which requires pulling the engine out a few inches to remove it) I might not be such an enthusiastic supporter of this SD product. My review is more about describing my adventure with both…
