Thanks for the info, my only negative thought it adds height to the hitch by a few inches. My trailer is very low so I would have to have a receiver with a hell of a drop. Does the rear sway bar add height to the vehicle????

Grumpaw, which model did you install as I'm interested, thx

Hi Mike, I made a trip of 12 miles which is not enough for a good reading but I checked the level which I finally can read, thx Fitz dipstick, it was a little above the 4 mark which is between 4-5. Can I expect the level to rise when the vehicle is up to temperature???

Hi Mike, received my replacement MBS dipstick yesterday , looks excellent, easier to read. The packaging went unscathed cross country to Mass. I now use the tube to keep the first one safe. I haven't gone on a longer trip yet to see the levels at temp but I will check as soon as I do, thx again

Mike I'm in for that also, I don't mind paying for the new stick, let us know, thx Ron Mike I'm in on paying for the updated stick as its too hard to read the old one. Le us know, thx Ron

The Dorman also comes with a filter and gasket, but I prefer aluminum, but for the budget consious guys this is an option , price on amazon $72.72 right now

When I cleaned mine I had a little gunk after 2k miles I believe, and it was warm then.

Over the years it will be good money spent as the turbo hopefully will last!

Sounds like that will remove the gunk before it gets to the turbo???

I put a piece of bike tube rubber aroung the wire loom because I'm an over kill guy, most likely not needed but I have it there anyway. Over kill is how I operate, with most of my endeavors/purchases.

What no back flips???

Well looks like you should loosen the bolt, its down below the ac line in front of it to the left if your facing the truck. If you don't have the hood shock it will be easier to get too.

Guessing just moving/flexing the line gives enough clearance. I had a hell of a time loosening that bolt because of the hood shock/strut and it didn't seem to buy me too much. I would just try flexing the line for clearance right off the bat.

Mike this is a beautiful thing, the orders keep coming in, even new members as they hear about your Fitzstick. All us members are happy for you and your awesome dipstick is terrific. The bad news is I also want to purchase one of those tranny pans and my Ranger doesn't even have 6k miles...

Here's a for instance, Harbor Freight is a 20 mile round trip at least, they charge a $7 flat fee shipping charge I believe, so its hard to want to drive, chance an accident , my time factored in, to make a special trip. It pains me to think in these terms but its reality.

Covid caused alot of these issues in the past few years. We started to look for ways to purchase things without leaving your home, at least that's how it was for me. Amazon was always there in the past 5 years or so but really took off during covid. Bottom line is we started to factor in...

Problem with going to the store to purchase is the extra money for gas if you live far away. Even 10 miles away is 20 total and a gallon of gas along with your time. Amazon is a necessary evil, but I'm not totally fond of it. What happened to the days when you could drive to multiple stores and...

Possibly , but adjustables seem to be useful at times

My second vehicle is a 2013 Subaru impreza, formerly my wifes' , as she just purchased a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. I like an all wheel drive vehicle as I live in Mass. Great second vehicles, 30 mpg.
