so I went to do a simple oil change...so I thought.
the truck has been sitting for a while, driven once every few months MAYBE. hasn't had a oil change in a longggg time. (62k original miles)

I went to pull the filter off, and it crushed. wouldn't budge. and messing with it for 2 days I finally dropped the whole assembly and lines, as seen here.

you can see I was a lil frustrated...



question is, is there anything in there I should replace before I put it all back together? gasket or anything like that? putting it back in tomorrow morning...

thanks for any help!

 

o rings, definitely the o rings where it mounts to the block.

 

that's exactly what I was thinking. thanks bro

 

No problem

 

I agree with orings... Also the ones at the end of the lines.

 

what do you mean the ones at the end of the lines? where they bolt on to the radiator, or where they clamp on the lines?

 

where it connects to the radiator. I dont remember if it has any there but I think they do.

 

ill have to look...but not I have another setback.

where it mounts to the block, a small portion broke off that included where the o-ring went...hopefully il be able to pick a new one up tomorrow don't wanna have to order and wait a week

 

anybody know a part number for this? this part comes out of the block and then the oil filter turns at a 90 degree angle. obviously need a new one lol

 

Rock auto might have them. Pull the part number from there. Ill look around for you.
