Good morning guys.
Miles don't worry, we have all made mistakes like this.
I have made them.
I once grabbed a loose spark plug wire of a running Jeep while standing in a puddle of water.
You only make a mistake like that once.
Can you drain the oil into a clean pan so you can reuse it ?

good morning!
i have had my fair share of bad thinking while working on trucks
i am going to try to barely loosen the oil filter and use a pick to try to pull the old seal out, then tighten it back up. but if that doesnt work ill just pull it off and do it the right way. yesterday i tried a new thing, loosen the oil filter and then use half a 2 liter bottle to put over it so oil doesnt drip down your arm and everywhere. worked beautifully,... until i dropped the 2 liter bottle lol

So this guy sold me this truck a little while ago, and I won't mention his name, but it rhymes with Gay Cro-Magnon. This truck was missing a front centercap. If any of you have a lead on a used 1999-2004 F-350 DRW front center cap, I would love to purchase one.
Thank you
Thank you
