strokin does know alot. i just had a leak in the same spot and decided to take it to the dealership and let them fix and paid the 100 dollar deductable. Living in wisconsin and the temps around 5 degrees right now i would like to keep my ebpv. There is a pedestal rebuild kit from dieselsite.com http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=314The kit costs 130 bucks so that's why i took it to the dealer.
