The stick is $159.00 UPS ground is $26.53, if you are interested, mention it here and I will include you in one of the next batches.

Yes, I want to try that next, or square, round wont stack, so I'm guessing it spends most of it's time rolling around the back of the truck.

I actually tried taking a Unibit to the schedule 40 PVC pipe to fit the stick inside the pipe, I think sch 80 PVC will fit the rubber seal without modification.

I have shipped using the same box as the assembly, it's about $10-$12 more than the tube, I just have to get the stick itself a happy container. The furring strips are 2" I would have to rip them down to fit in the tube and they are heavy wood, I'm trying for easy and light, I need to find...

That is the entire dipstick assy, it's the dipstick itself that is the shipping challenge.

The thing is, I either need rigidity, or tougher shell, the stick has actually survived in the folded tubes, it's just needing some extra something, I thought that even the fiber tape around the outside. I am also considering the small square boxes, a rolling tube must get easily damaged in the...

That's the backside of the stick, the front where you read the level it has the text a few inches up the stick. The top one is your stick, the bottom one is the updated stick, the same one I will send you to replace your original one, but I have to figure out the shipping.

As an update for the replacement sticks for the very first batch, the shipping tubes were a marginal choice, out of 6 of them only 1 showed up perfect, 2 were completely folded. I may try PVC pipe inside or switch to the thick tube that they ship metal in, I'm still working on it!!

You are killing me..... the MBS RS-1023 Ford Ranger Extended dipstick comes complete with the correct fluid level instructions etched right on the stick. "MAINTAIN FLUID LEVEL BETWEEN 4-5 CHECK HOT IDLING IN PARK" I hope that helps!! I just copied the factory manual?

Ford has had transmission design issues from the very first OD trans, starting with the AOD and the E4OD and just when they get them right like 1996 for the E4OD, they come up with a new crappy design.

I got a Mishimoto deep trans pan for Christmas, I want to put it on but my trans is acting up so badly now I am going to take it to the dealer before I install the pan. I guess I will be the first guy to see what the dealer reaction is to the dipstick :LOL: fortunately I worked at this dealer...

Speaking of dipsticks, now that Christmas is in the books, I can get back to work in the shop, PM's going out soon! I'm part way on this group, should only be a few days.

That will probably be my next project though! But not until I have a pile of Ranger sticks sitting around.

I wish it would, but it will not fit anything but a 2.3 Ranger!

Soon, I need a test mule in my area, development is pretty much done on the Ranger, I just need to ramp up production. The Bronco is definitely next.

I have the Ford tune, my transmission is starting to really act up, going to the dealer soon. I don't think the tune has had any affect on it, it's wearing out, harsh shifting, or wont shift, shifts at 2-3 mph like you have been rear ended. Almost all 30k has been in T/H mode.

Good info, I will look and see if that may be it?

I got one of those, the letter did cover all the big known problems, straight to the trash can!

Hey, thanks for the input, but after much research, I already have 200+ (had to buy in bulk or the shipping is expensive) 6" x 6" X 28" for the sticks, it was the cheapest way to ship the assembly, 4x4 is too small, dipstick wont fit! I tried the 2" x 36" tubes as they were $10 cheaper to ship...

Hey, for those of you who purchased the first dipsticks, I planned on sending new updated replacements, the new stick order showed up (better visibility in bright light), so I did a shipping test, shipped 4 of them using 2" tubes. One made it perfectly, two were flattened a bit, one had a...
