I don't know how much, but I'd try both DC and Cummins for a price check.

Re:cracked oil filter head

While you are waiting, clean the crack well, and use JB Weld.<br>Keep an eye on things, though.

Re:cracked oil filter head

cleaned and jb welded it and ordered new filter head/oil cooler cover ($67 not bad), oil filter bypass valve, and gaskets. ups came today but the cummins guy forgot to send the gaskets &gt;
should have them tomorrow. jb weld seems to be holding up.
