This fellow here might explain better than I can

i replaced that when I first picked it up, so not too many. Maybe 4K or less miles plus the coolant filter is supposed to extend the life of the pump seals. The coolant on the bottom of the pump you may see on a few pictures is “normal” because it will leak out of the weep hole on startup.

The water pumps built for the 7 3 are weak, that's good you already took care of it.

Yeah I bought an OEM one or at least it said it was from rockauto and since I put the coolant filter on, hopefully that'll extend the life of the seal.

I got some new plates in the mail for this pig, going to put them on and maybe change the oil tomorrow. Wally World was the only place around that had 5 gallon containers of shell T4 so I picked up two so I'll have one for next time around as well.

Took the truck up to PA to help move my Uncle to his new place, found out the pinion seal is leaking pretty good. Picked up a new seal at the local dealer today. Maybe swap it out this weekend if I have time.

The dipstick adapter is also leaking again, such a shit design. I ordered this one and hope it fixes my woes, if not I guess I'll have to bite the bullet for the $300 billet adapter

The 7.3 Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit is a permanent repair part for the factory dipstick leak.

picked up a set of 2007 rear seats and floor tray from a rotted out truck by me. Gonna try and swap them in this weekend and finish the new hitch install. the 05+ rear seats fold up as well as down and the tray is nice to be able to put shit in there and not worry about messing up the carpet too bad.
