Glow plug harness ?

7.3powerstroke00 · Nov 3, 2014

Or dipstick tube broke where the J bracket is spot welded.... had 2 of them break on my '09, they can make a bit of a mess also.....

AllGo'N'Show · Nov 4, 2014

Dug in tonight finally, thought it was glow plug harness as well, seems to have sprayed right on the harness. Spray with soapy water and no pressure / no bubbles so I don't believe the harness is leaking. EBP tube has a small leak and I still need to delete that up-pipe as well. Dip stick tube on the other hand... wags in the wind up top near nut and after some reading looks like the o-rings at bottle are prone to leak too. Will grab one in the morning on the way down to working on it and hope for the best with the dipstick being the fix, just a big mess to clean up now.

Finally hope to get my master cyl. swapped tomorrow as well and finalize the OE trailer brake retrofit, fingers crossed no programming required as the unit flashes on when truck starts.

Best thing to do before installing a new dipstick tube is to braise or have it braised around the J bracket to keep the spot welds from breaking out....

Got some 1 ton rear blocks, u bolts and some pro comp traction bars with brackets for $100 bucks from wrecking yard today! Hopefully will get them installed with pics tmoro!

I did look at it and thought about this, thanks for the tip. I figured 214k km on it, I know I broke the tube either doing the EGR delete forcing it over or forcing the dipstick back in checking it, so I know it was likely user inflected with a little bit of factory defect to help out

I figure now that I know its a little weak there I have been supporting it better so hopefully it works ok for another 50-100k till I likely get bored and replace the truck.

Just got my 6 position switch reinstalled after getting it re-burned. It now shifts so much better , less smoke on the tow tunes and the boost is way up compared to the old tunes I had.
