Thanks, Rob & John,

Y'All have covered yesterday and today -- now I don't have to learn
anything else today! Smile

Thanks Ken, Roy, Rob & John, (& Dick P. & Bob B. off the GMCnet),

I have learned more than I really wanted to know about where the oil filter attaches to my GMC.

I think the intake manifold seal is OK. I don't know about the filter stand to block gasket (Dick P). I'll check that out when I get back.

For now I'm heading to O'Reily's to get a Delco PF24 and use its new gasket to try an get a temporary seal. I won't torque that to 55 for fear of cracking the cooler adapter. Where do you buy cooling adapters? I sure don't want to have to find out.

I ordered the Dorman 917-036 Oil Cooler Adapter Seal from Amazon. Those will be waiting when I get home and will try that and torque the adapter to 55.

Hope that works, I sure don't like the oil all over my new mufflers and the drips on the ground.
