dipstick leak

To all:
having trouble with a leaking dipstick at the pan, loose nut to start with on 96' powerstroke. I understand there is an update to fix but international is having trouble finding the update kit. There has been a 'tsb' written, HELP is needed

Call up Clay and get the kit.
He sells for Guzzles,

Guzzle has a kit to replace the dipstick tube seal.
Comes with a bottle brush to hold the inside piece and all the parts you need.

Somebody correct me if I was wrong on Guzzles having that.

make sure you don't drop the parts into the pan....I recommend using a set of needle nose vice grips to hold the "inside parts" in place while you replace the oring.

also holy cow! you have been a member since 2006 and only have 6 posts... that's pretty dang impressive

That is kind of impressive, but I know quite a few friends of mine who were on here way before me and have less posts. They just get on to read and use the info. Totally fine...I just tend to have questions even when its spelled out for me. lol

They send you a bottle brush with them.
YOu just shove the bottle brush though and it doesn't go anywhere.

lol I hear ya William. I think itd be hard to be a moderator seeing as you need to be objective. And when it comes to certain things everyone has an opinion and could be hard to not abuse the power when you disagree lol.
I like all the moderators on here though. I havent had any problems (partially cuz I dont post all too often).
