The leak at the dipstick flange is a well known issue with the 7.3 Powerstroke engine. The leak develops because the factory O-ring mounted inside the adapter swells over time due to exposure to oil. As the seal swells it actually deforms the inner piece of the adapter causing the outer nut to loosen. Some people will try tightening the nut to stop the leak and that can work temporarily, but it only deforms the inner piece more. The factory repair for this leak is to remove the pan and replace the whole unit from the inside of the pan. This is a time consuming and expensive repair.

This kit reuses the internal part and moves the seal to the outside of the pan. Nothing left abandoned inside the pan and no welding. This kit can be installed with basic hand tools in about two hours, saving time and money compared to other options available for repairing this problem.

Please Note: It has been determined that this kit only works with Factory or Dorman internal dipstick flanges. If the internal part has ever been replaced with a part not made by these two manufacturers, this kit may not work. Also, if the dipstick nut has ever been over tightened, and the threads are pulled, you could still end up with a small leak.

    Frequently Asked Shipping Related Questions:

    Q: Why did my order arrive in Amazon packaging/a box for another product?

    A: We here at Dfuser strive to lower our carbon footprint by reusing as much packaging from received shipments as possible. We assure you that your product is being delivered as promised.

    Q: My order shipping transit time via Ground Shipping shows 3 Days. Why did I not receive my order in that time frame?
    A: Ground shipping transit time is not a guaranteed delivery. This is based on items shipped from our current location with best time forecasted by the shipping company. Some items may ship from one our many warehouses across the US and can take longer to arrive to your shipping destination. Please use any of the faster methods to ensure your item arrives on time if you have any concerns about the delivery date.

    Q: My order shipping method says UPS, but you sent me a FedEx tracking number. Am I getting someone else's order?
    A: Here at Dfuser we use UPS Ground OR equivalent if you picked ground. Some orders may get shipped via Priority Mail if we determine that you will get your package sooner via that method. If you order something and want 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day shipping we reserve the right to use the carrier of our choice if we determine your package will get there in the same time period.

    Q: My receipt says I was charged for 20lbs of shipping and the UPS tracking number only indicates that a 9lb package was shipped. Why did you charge me for a 20lb package?
    A: Some items are larger than others and we need to enter DIMENSIONAL weight for shipping cost accuracy, especially for larger items that need to ship with express shipping. Carriers such as UPS & FedEx charge by dimensions, rather than weight.

    Q: I received my item and upon opening it, the item is damaged! What do I do now?
    A: First, please DO NOT install the product. Retain all packaging material, the damaged item, and anything else that came with the product. Call us right away so we can start a damaged shipment claim.
