First get it installed, most have no clearance problem, then if it’s a little close, you can do either or both, the bolt will move it some, depends on where the guy on the assembly line tightened it at.
The A/C line is actually easy to adjust back as well, it just doesn’t seem like it.

Yes, the update is I'm going crazy, I have ordered hose from two different suppliers, one just shipped a order that was supposed to be here 7 weeks ago and the other supplier is 5 weeks late and all I get is crickets.
I think instead of me saying the same thing that I have been saying for...
Hey guys, the voting list is not in voting order, the program reshuffles it, I have emailed the moderator and asked about it, he was unsure why, it's a shame, it would make life a lot easier for me if it was, I've had to go by the topic and people posting interest.
The voting list thing was...
For those of you who have purchased and have yet to install the dipstick, you should watch the new video, two key additional points are covered, the A/C line and the wire loom clearance.
In fact, everybody who has one of my dipsticks installed should review the video, 8:05 in the video is where...
It's a toss up for me, I really want to support the local shops, but online has become so competitive, which drives the price down, factor in fuel and especially time, it's Amazon prime most of the time.

For the price of fluid I would change it, with the amount of metal that the transmission sheds in it's first few miles, I bet even at 246 miles it looks like pink metal flake paint in a drain bucket.
I bet you could run it through a Frantz TP filter and reuse it though, I wonder how many people...
You will find that when you get under the truck with that foot long wrench you will want to cut it in half, difficult to use in a tight spot.
Through development I used a shorty wrench, I kinda figured most people would use a adjustable one, who has a shorty 1-1/16" in the box.
wow that...
I don't expect the replacement order (first batch replacements) for a couple/few weeks yet, the few I sent out are from the current batch.
Then I have to show everyone how to measure them for me. I'll set the length, re-serial number them, ship them out.
One of the things I got in the feedback was nobody had a 1-1/16" wrench, but everybody has a 15/16" so I found a supplier who has multiple choices in wrenching sizes, 15/16" was the smallest with still a large enough sealing area.
