Default NEW! - 7.3L Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit

Sorry, no big horsepower from this one...but we still thought this product was pretty darn cool. The website explains it in more detail, but in short...it's a true solution to the leak problems with the factory dipstick adapter and it eliminates the need to remove the engine/oil pan to repair the leak properly.

For what it's worth, the hardest part of the install will be removing the nut from a stock adapter with messed up threads or that has been "fixed" before with silicone or epoxy. Once the stock junk has been removed, installation (and removal should it need to be serviced) is fast and easy, requires no special tools and never requires removal of the engine or oil pan.

Dennis...

This is slick as hell!!!

I just had a very bad experience 3 weeks ago with this very damn thing. Checked the oil on Thursday and it was full and no leaks... Sometime between then and Friday on the way home that thing started leaking (nut was completely off)... Half way over the pass, no cell service and the truck runs out of oil!!!

Little help from ODOT and I bandaidded it to get home but now its "fixed" with a donor nut from one of my blown motors and a bunch of RVT...

I'll be placing an order soon!

Joe

It turns out that there is a fitment problem with this product and HYPERMAX connecting rods. For specific information and photos showing the problem, please see the notice in RED at this link:
