While on vacation,dip stick gasket went out and i had to put jb weld water putty on it,it got me home but is leaking again,need to find where i can get that repair kit and the best place to get the gasket,might not ever get that jb water putty off but have to try.
Thanks Jim

 

riffraff sells the repair kit good price!!

 

If I remember right, Glenn didn't have much luck with that kit. Some have, some haven't. I hope your mechanic does Jim. There is an EXPENSIVE fix for it, I don't remember who sells it though. Someone will. It's like 300 bucks though. Edit: It may be strictly diesel.

 

Strictly Diesel Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit

Has anyone ever used this type of seal.

The expensive one I know a couple people who drop in here once in a while have used it and said it worked excellent. I don't remember who though. The cheap fix, like I said, I've heard some have luck with it, some don't.

 

The diesel O ring kit has a big O ring that goes on the inside of the dip stick flange as you hold it with a wire brush in the hole. My problem was trying to keep the O ring in the grove as you put it back together again. The O ring is slightly smaller then the grove and kept slipping out of the grove on me!! I finally used 'marine tex' I got on ebay all around it and it hasn't leaked yet. On my newer dually, if it leaks I will buy that expensive thing in the link above.

 

Thanks guys,i will give a notice when i do get it fixed.
