So, right after I bought my truck, (2008 F350 6.4) I took it to get the fuel/water seperator drained, and the filter replaced. Took it in for an exhaust leak recently, and found out that they apparently overtightened/forced the plug back in, and attempting to loosen it to drain it is gonna crack the housing. Anybody have any tips, or worst-case scenario, the part number for the housing? And, is it a dealer only part, or can I get it aftermarket?

 

Check the photo of the parts listing here. You might can find it on eBay from a Ford dealer at a reduced cost or an aftermarket part. Check RockAuto also.

Just looked, doesn't have the housing that I saw, unfortunately. It has the filter, but the housing isn't pictured or listed in the parts breakdown.
