Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Schrader Valve

Does anybody know for sure before I take it apart if the Schrader test nipple on a 2000 has pipe thread on the oppisite end so that it can be reinstalled into a threaded banjo bolt that Genos sells. Thanks

The schrader test port on my truck did not have a removable nipple at all. Just out of curiosity, why would you want a schrader test port in a tapped banjo bolt?

I don't believe it does. I wanted to keep my schraders for testing purposes (actually dealer testing purposes, sort of a long story behind that)) so when I replaced my banjos when Ray first came out with them I drilled my schraders out to the same size as the banjos. Only took a few minutes. I used one of his threaded ones on the bottom of my fuel filter cannister to hook up my fp gauge.

Good idea thanks for the help.

Here's why:

Many of us use that point to attach a fuel pressure guage - wonder where you have yours attached?



Plus, as pointed out above, the dealers use them as well, to do fuel system checks for LP failures...
