Couldn't locate the o ring. Even Ford said they didn't have it so i guess ill pull it an see if i can find one similar today an try to fix it.

 

I dont think that is supposed to be there?

 

OMG, what was it rubbing on?

 

Not exactly sure what it was. But it was a piece of metal fell out when i removed the dipstick tube. I guess someone had dropped it in there at somepoint and it got wedged in there an rubbed with the vidrations.

 

Well, its good it didn't drop into the pan.

 

No doubt!.....

 

Anyone got any idea were i can order a new dip stick tube from? All i can find is "universal" tubes.

 

Have you tried Ford?

 

I found this one......7.3L Ford Powerstroke Lower Oil Dipstick Tube 1803073C1

 

Tryin my best to avoid the stealerships. But may have to try them.

 

Check my last post......#24

I think we posted at the same time LOL!

 

Thanks!

I wonder if there is such a thing as a flexible auto dipstick tube? I'm having a hard time squeezing a DP in there with the dipstick. I tempted to just leave the short stub down there and cut the dipstick down to size. LOL

 

Remove the dipstick tube along with the transmission. Replace with a ZF5. Problem solved....
