I just purchased a new 2023 ranger tremor. I Need one of these. Such a great design. Much nicer then the B&M dipstick on my f150. Fitzmotor please allow me to give you my money when you have some available. Thank you so much.

Mike,
Received updated stick today #33 tube arrived with no damage, thanks again looks a lot easier to read
I had to get creative, I bonded and stapled the wood strip inside the tube to keep UPS happy, I have to thank Grumpaw for the wood furring strips idea, at first I did not want to try it, but in the end it worked best?

Thanks Grumpaw!

Extremely durable I tried to bend the tube over my knee and took a lot of pressure to get tube to bend at all. I think this will work for replacement sticks. ??thanks again

That’s the final tube version I hope, UPS sure exercised their “shipping policy “ on me over the tubes with reinforcement's on the outside!
Let me know what you think of the dipstick upgrade!

Sometimes I wonder if the people at the Post Office make up their own rules?

I prepared a shipment using a cardboard tube that I had kept from when I ordered my hood struts. I measured, remeasured, and weighed it twice. I entered the info into the PO's Click & Ship web page. I selected USPS Priority Mail then selected the new Ground Advantage option to compare pricing. Shipping time was about the same, but the Ground Advantage was a few bucks cheaper so I purchased the label.

Not wanting any problems, I took it into the PO and asked if everything was OK. He measured it, & weighed it, and said "NOPE, you didn't purchase enough postage" His measurements and weight were the same as mine (and I even added a little to the weight and dimensions to be sure all was good) I wound up paying them another $3 bucks. He said it was because it was "over-length". How is the average guy shipping stuff from home using the USPS web site supposed to know that? There were no red flags or notifications regarding over-length issues when I entered the info on their web page! :mad:
I totally get your insight to the post office, a government agency, but I think the dipsticks are shipped UPS. Fitz, correct me if I'm wrong.

Any estimate on when the next batch will be available to ship?
Thanks, Bill

I just picked up the component I have been missing to build more, now I actually have enough to make 125 of them, up to now it's been small batches of 25-40 of them. I am going to stockpile them and then launch the website, at least that is the plan, the whole website thing is out of my skill set.

So to answer your question.... if I say 2 weeks, it usually works out to be 3-4 weeks, so I will just say soon.

Thanks for your interest! stay tuned, coming soon!
