bought it from rock auto, up top in the sponsors,just click on them then do a serch on your truck. was $112 delivered to my door 4 days later in the big brown truck. came with a new o ring, and lock ring. if I had it to do over, I would order the new straps to go with it.I used rust encapsulater from eastwood on it too. it's galvinized, but I want it to out last me.

Thanks Dusty. I figured on doing new rubber at least, straps probably aren't that much more. Now all I need is the money to buy it.

I don't think you read the part about he used no gaskets, or sealants to instal the valve covers. he drove 10 miles to and from work, and used 6 qts a day.the truck has been here 2 days, and filled up 2 sheets of card board. probaly comeing home with it on the roll back in the rain, it left an oil slick everywhere we went
