Long time Ranger guy, new to the Bullnose and big Ford world.

JunkCollector
Hi all! Long intro, but I just bought an F350 dually CL, 460, C6, 4.10s and from what I've read here a D70 with 4.10s and a posi. Before this truck I liked my fullsize Dodges, but now that I own this one I'm considering changing my mind. Got used to working with the Ranger/Bronco II platform since I was a kid, and it seems the big trucks aren't that much different. Hope to learn a lot more about what I have, and definitely hope to stop this constant oil filter adapter leak. I'd post a picture of my rig, but don't have any on this computer.

Welcome!  So, the JunkCollector handle came with the Dodges?  

No prob, I have a '69 Bee, so I speak Chizzler.

Where's home?  We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map on the menu) and we'd be happy to add you if we had a town, zip, or somesuch.

Anyway, you are now a full-fledged member and can post anywhere on the forum.

Glad you joined.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! And yes, the Dodge is the biggest pile of junk in my fleet!  I actually bought this truck to move it around while I work on it. The Dodge is a fun toy, but the Ford is definitely the superior road trip and pulling truck.

Welcome to the forum!

Change the washer and seal.
Put some threadlocker on the adapter banjo bolt and torque it down through the hole in the frame.

It should stay sealed.
