Cracked HPOP res

[no-tel-in]

Ok, so I noticed a few oil drips yesterday... got to looking and saw a TINY hairline crack on TOP of the hpop resivore, oil starts to seep out of there and ends up dripping... So today I did what every good redneck mech would do and JB Welded it...lol, I have a 3hr road trip in the morning, so we will see how that holds (I always carry 1gal of spare oil)


When I get back to town next week, I will need to locate just the top part of the res. Does anyone know if I can remove the few torx screws and remove just that cover and replace it?? Called both ford and INT, they were clueless over the phone.

Any pointers on where I can get this??

Thanks

I would assume if you can get ahold of just the top piece you should have no issue replacing it.

Yah, I know that... its just getting ahold of it lol

So just the lid is cracked? Wow, not the reservoir or the front cover?

if ford is too stupid to look up the part then take it in.


im betting your just have to get a whole reservoir. they generally dont sell parts individually like that. and i will guess a 3 dig figure in price.



but better yet, go to a JY and pull one .




layson...this part.

Yup, I was thinking about a junkyard... and the crack is near the bolt closest to the drivers side, right where it rolls up.

I am curious, why now? I did my hpop over a month ago, if I over tightened that bolt, wouldnt it have cracked then?

The JY across from Santos Elementary on 441 has 1 or 2 OBS trucks that Ive stole stuff off of. I think theyre the same covers but not sure.

[Jarrod B]

obs res DO NOT have the front two bolts that hold the filter on like a SD 7.3 does.

well, I cant find one... bout to ride up to the stealership, want to wager what this costs me...? lol
