Title: lubrication tube between blower drive and blower
Post by: lostagain on March 20, 2016, 02:59:42 PM
There is an oil leak there because the oil transfer tube seal ring is rotten, crushed, and needs replacing. It is at the back of the blower, just below the mini bypass. I need to find a replacement seal ring. It is some kind of rubber, cone shaped, that fits inside the nut. Do I need to go to the Detroit dealer, or could I find it at an auto parts store?

I need to fix it right, because getting at it through the floor hatch under the bed is a PIA.

I hope your dealer prices are better for that seal than WW Williams  ;D

$3 and change for the seal, plus $6 for freight from Winnipeg! When you need it, you got to pay...
