Everyone is correct about leaving it and I suggest you only replace it with the "real" replacement part with the screw in the center. My 2 cents for what it's worth.

If you happen to pull apart one of the late model 4l80e's we need to chat.

A piece of lexan and bit of fab work you can make a replacement. If I can get my tech. guy involved I'll post a picture of a fab piece.

THANKS for the follow up!

And just to be safe, check the bolts on the brake disc rotors. Just to be safe.

Second choice is a leaking turbocharger, oil is puddling in the intake to the point it is being pulled into the engine. Should this be the case the exhaust would look like rolling coal. A look on the intake side of the intake manifold should show black oil. Just my 2 cents.

Mushroom plug, inserted from the inside.

Get out of the truck.

You might want to look at "db engineering" great guys in TX make some similar stuff. It's cut your own proposition though.

If I remember correctly NAPA at one time had 2 flavors of these , cheaper and not so cheap = less runout.

I wouldn't worry about any of that stuff!!! Unless there were a LOT more tie downs involved the first minor upset and the HMMWV is leaving the trailer, no problem then........

Can't disagree with that!

I think they mean the doors with the straight upper portion. My understanding they only fit the 1114 series trucks. But I may be wrong!

FYI.... There was a guy in Atlanta that sold xdoors a few years back. Corvette guy I think.

PM sent.

Rumor has it that "dead" slim in the tank looks like coffee grounds on the bottom of the tank. Something to look for. You should be able to easily see the bottom of the tank with clean highway diesel (non dyed on highway fuel) .

Power Service BIO KLEEN, a little goes a long way. I mix it with anti gel and diesel in a 2.5 gal jug and splash it before a trip to the pump. Don't ask how much, I have to break out the calculator or have my kid (math major) do the math. My suspicion is the translucent nature of the tank...

I do not see the "sock" on the end of the pickup tube. Is it visible to you???? It should look whiteish...... You should be able to see the bottom of the tank with fuel in it if it's clean.........Anything other than diesel and maybe a small amount of water is all that should be visible. Cloudy...

You are going to be amazed at what you find in the tank. The two cannon plugs above the "frame" over the driveshaft is the hardest part of removal in my experience, chews up old hands. Also if you are new to diesels I have two words for you"BIO KLEEN" . Gasket kit for the top plate and a new...

Maybe.......... had one leaking from the edge as you describe, but ran OK. Had the fuel tank off one TWICE and the second truck once. Both were nasty. I'm holding my breath!
