Hmm... oops.

So uhh... sorta broke the dipstick in half pulling it out... gotta P/N for this bad boy? Guess they don't like to come out more than once.

And now I gotta pull my LT out... Hate those damn things!

Get it out without removing the LT and order a Lokar flexible dipstick, around $50 but easy

Did you break the dipstick itself? If so, you can remove it by dropping the oil pan. I've never heard of that happening before.

I got a Lokar. So much easier to install.

Dipstick tube. I'd feel dumb breaking the dipstick.

Oh yea, where can I get this Lokar? Anything will be better than stock! Being that its flexible, is it hard to install??

Got mines from Summit Racing. Went in like in 5 sec. I was so impressed with it, I bought a Lokar Tranny oil dipstick tube also.
