I HOPE LIKE ALL H#ELL THAT YOUR NOT USING BALDWIN OIL FILTERS TOO!!!...

====================



(From left to right) ...

* (far left) Your oil dip-stick line is not secure. That is not good for it ... causes it to vibrate and bounce around going down the road. This is an issue.

* There is a small Wire that is A:) Unprotected by split-loom .. and B:) Rubbing against the oput-side of a clamp where it can short out.

* There is ANOTHER larger set of wires running over a sharp part of the frame.. same thing ... potential for a short or other problems.


* (far right) You Also have an un-protected (plastic, colored pink) air line running against the compressor outlet air-line. THAT compressor air-line (silver braided line) GETS VERY VERY HOT during normal operation. It will cause the other (pink) air line to get brittle prematurely and fail... if not melt a hole thru it one day.

Damn Rawze good thing you ain’t a truck enforcement officer lol.You don’t miss a thing.I thought the issues with the Baldwin Filters were fixed? Once I get back to the house I’ll secure all those wires and hoses or put some protection around them.The truck is an 03’ but the previous owner had the original block crack and he purchased a used 400k 04’ motor but I guess that dipstick doesn’t have the same mounting area. What do you think about the leak?
