I only looked at mine. I have not tried it yet. For all I know Ford did check it and it's barely hand tight.

Seriously guys, sometimes a sharp rap/hit snaps things loose so well, and it would take double the force to slowly break it loose, just saying, I agree!

Now I am curious what a MOTHOD is, just kidding... wait, is that a reference to the moth's or just a fat finger on the keyboard?

No fat fingers here, Mike! Saw the opportunity and jumped at it! LOL

LOL...I didn't typo "method"...

Once again, for everyone worried about trying to get the cap off...get underneath, reach up and position a 19mm open wrench in a way that you can tap the end with a small hammer while holding the wrench against the cap to avoid slipping...from down under, tap the wrench "CLOCK WISE"...a few good taps and it's loose...

The method described above is highly recommended by the MBS dipstick mfg!!

Arrived and installed today. Dropped right into position and took all of 5 minutes. I've had my factory plug off plenty so it wasn't hard to install and I actually had a shorty 27mm socket laying around to tighten the new one, but had to use a Moscow Micrometer (Adjustable wrench) for the last fitting.

All-in-all 100% recommend. Sadly I'd already driven the truck today and did not get a 'calibration' measurement, but I trust the process to have given me an accurate stick.

It's been good enough feedback to start ordering a whole new batch of everything, including packing it's like 20 different items, some are long lead time some are quick.

I wonder how many I should try to build?

If I can swing it, I will try for 200.

I do have to stop selling on ebay, they literally get half of the profit, and shipping through them is also stupid, I have to pay 8-17$ just to print the shipping label:angry:

I'm working on the MBS website, it's slow process, I'd rather be in the shop putting something together.

I really want to thank everybody, without you guys and your positive comments and support, none of this would be here, no dipsticks or 960 pages in a topic.:LOL:
