250 Cummins oil filter housing?

[citizensoldier]

I changed the oil and filter in the M816 today. When I pulled the filter housing off there is no gasket between the two? Is this right? In the lube order it mentions a gasket but no pictures of this.. It is a strange set up and I am unsure what is supposed to be there.. Anyone have a blow up?

Yes, there should be. There is a parts manual in the TM section that has an exploded view.

yes there is a gasket on there it might have fallen off while you pulled it out. but beleive me you didnt run it without that gasket as it will leak all the oil out super fast.

make it a spin on and forget the gasket.

Two gaskets, one at the open end, rubber, and one on the bolt, copper. Both should be changed each time you change a filter. Neither gasket comes with a filter, you must order them sep.(at least at NAPA)

Well.. Maybe they had to do some emergency repair in the field! Mine was re-enstalled with black permatex.. After cleaning out the bottom and checking close on the engine block all it had was chucks of permatex! It was leaking a small amount towards the block.. I was able to get a gasket yesterday from my auto store.. She is back on the road with no leaks.. I took the wrecker, deuce with M149 and R-2 crash truck with genset trailer up to the Legion Hall for 400 kids to crawl all over today.. They had there Veterans appreciation day. Every switch in all three vehicles was flipped when I came to start driving them home. Good thing I pulled the battery cables on the big trucks and the little bugger found the master switch on the R-2.. LOL..

yes there is a whole thread about just this. search for spin on filter and nhc 250 and you will see it. it's prob on the first page of the 5T section.

you can thank me later, better filter, easier and has drainback protection.
