MBS Extended Automatic Transmission Dipsticks now available

[Fitzmotor]

You design and manufacturer a really good product and word gets around !!! Slowly at first, but it just builds upon itself....
You sir, have become a success !!!!

Thank you very much! I still say.. it was all the support I got from everyone here that kept me on task, in the early part of development, I almost gave up, I had tried so many different ways to shape and hold the shape after it heat cycled on the vehicle, I had tried every possible adhesive (that was not flammable) I could try, I went thru over 50' of hose, one test dipstick after another.
I finally thought to try some of the 2 part adhesives that were nonflammable and found one that would last through the heat forming process without curing too soon. It allowed me to shape it with heat, then when the adhesive cured, it was rigid like a stick and held it's shape no matter how hot it got. It worked out pretty well, well enough to take on starting a business!

Thanks again to everyone who supported me!
You were the difference between a good idea (Msfitoy's idea actually) and a new product!

I was looking for you, remember readding about your dipstick a few years ago and I'm getting ready to change the fluid and wanted an easy way to measure the fluid level. All I did was search for "2021 Ford Ranger dipstick" and you ended up at the top of the list.

It's an easy way to check the level, pump it out, and fill it up.... ACCURATELY, with no mess. I've accomplished it 3 times. Can do it in less than 40 minutes if not changing the filter, without spilling a drop and have it completely accurate.

Hint: Once the Fitz stick is installed, position your truck where you plan to change the fluid. If you let it sit 48 hours you can pump 7.5qts out via the dipstick.... takes about 15 minutes. Put back in the same amount using your Fitzstick Funnel.

Put your dipstick in and start your truck, shift through the gears at 5 second intervals, then back to park at at 5 second intervals, immediately hop out and check your fluid. It should be just touching your dipstick, no more than 1/8" up the stick. This only works with cold truck and fluid. You must be on a flat surface to accurately check your fluid level. ULV expands rapidly with heat.

If you do this 3 times say over 1000 miles, you'll have replaced 98% of the fluid. Less than 7.5 quarts lowers the clean fluid level down to as low as 90%. A lot cheaper than taking it to a dealer.

All because of Fitz! (Thank you again!)

Tony, Let’s see Yours Funnel of course

I think I have had a total of about 10 different color funnels, the original yellow ones, many different blue ones, a couple silvers, I even tried transparent colors so you could see the fluid through the funnel. (they don't print well at all)
The problem is whenever I find a brand/color that prints well, it always seems to run out of stock and is no longer available, so I have to pick something else.
I'm onto light blue now and so far it has been available for quite a while.
My printer runs all day and half the night, every 7+ hours it pops out 3 of them, then I also pay a guy to print backup funnels for when my printer is down.
The funnels are a bit of a pain to print and prep for shipping, but the feedback has been so good, I have to keep it going.
I love the funnel humor!! You guys are great!

For those that do not know the level of service Mike provides, I would like to say it is top notch. I ordered one of the earlier ones without the funnel. He has gone above and beyond and provided funnels to all the early orders at no charge. I had offered to pay or at least pay for shipping he would not accept. He runs his business with putting the customer first. A lot of businesses should follow his example regarding customer service. The price for the original product is very fair and reasonable also.
