Doing mine right now. Last thing I want to do on a Saturday. I been working as a mechanic for the last 24 years, 5 days a week, so I hate doing it on weekends, but this truck gets us back and forth to our vacation home in the mountains every month and never lets us down so gotta show her some love
-
Great video. Like these repair videos. Nice to see the aftermarket coming up with better solutions too. Be safe and stay well.
-
Another great video. Was sure I commented but guess not. Loads of hard work going into this
-
Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️
-
Good stuff. I haven’t had a 7.3 apart, but as a Diesel Ag mechanic I’ve had many John Deere engines apart. In my experience, though not “ideal”, I personally would not worry about the possible obstruction of the oil pickup that an o-ring of that size would cause.
-
Dang helpful, thank you for posting this....helps take the mystery out of the ordeal.
-
Great video. Very helpful.
-
Super video. And we are always chasing leaks. Eventually they will all be stopped. This is just one more and a good way to do it. Also, just take off the two nuts and get that starter out of the way. It is an extra two minutes of work.
-
Spark plugs are right next to the injectors FYI. Don't forget to change out the spark plug wires and distributor cap while you got her open!
-
Dude is laying on carpet in this grass. This guy understands me.

I successfully replaced the O-ring and put a new nut on my 1995 F-350, but when I tried on my 2000 F-350 I lost the flange inside the oil pan with the new washer on it. I am ordering the strictly diesel part now.
-
I have ben told that over time the internal flange actually will warp. I have a 2001 Excursion with 431K and I am getting ready to install one on that because I am in your shoes with two repairs to it already and still leaking. Great video. Thanks
-
For a 20 year old Montana truck the underside looks really good. Do they not use salt on the roads up there?
-
Another way I know is I learned from my old truck is the old owner just welded it and it never leaked again tbh and that's saying 150k miles later no leaks. But seeing this video makes it look doing able. I tried to do JB weld easy fix and no luck still leaking going try some puddy if not fully replacement only option. I have a 99 with 401k like you said these things just keep chugging along.
-
Thank you for the video. I'm glad to find out there is an alternative to pulling the engine! Super helpful. Do you have a link to the new nut you ordered? I figure I'll order it all so there's no surprises.
-
Highly caution ⚠️ the use of that, I had one for a few years and a month ago the part in the oil pan found its way to the pickup tube blocked the oil pick up while towing a 30ft boat and whipped out a few bearings.
-
Maybe stick a magnet on the bottom of the pan, it might hold the lost flange to the bottom.......🤷♂️
-
Not all heros where capes thanks for the video gonna do this to my truck
-
Your truck has the smaller starter. Alot f 7.3's have the starter that is longer.
-
Thank you! Do you happen to know the size of the Dipstick O-ring? I have this same issue and need the repair part here sooner than later, so I bought one of the clones on Amazon. I will report back on the installation and quality.
