I'm going to have to supply a socket and an extra bolt in each kit :crackup: But, from here out it's a 8mm wrenching bolt, there's been a change to the hardware, and the fitting is now 15/16" not 1 1/16"

You are, I'm as anxious as you are, just waiting on hose, I have everything else, once that shows, I can fill a lot of orders.

I replaced mine with the Bosch ones and they did not last a year, dry and squeaky across the glass, but I do live in the desert .

I just used the orange hose with a piece of that stiff 3/8 nylon hose inside.

Super good point! the hoses in the black end housings stay nicely when new, they are a slip/press fit, once you get oil in that slip fit they can pop out.

Build a reverse buck (mold) and lay in carbon fiber, a complete carbon fiber shell, and add in various bracing at the key stress points, openings and bulkheads, just like how they make a carbon fiber racecar chassis, nothing is lighter. Carbon fiber is easy, you actually don't have to autoclave...

This thing works well and it's cheap, I just use 1/4 or 3/8 nylon hose depending upon what I'm working on, and it's easy to clean out. https://www.harborfreight.com/multi-use-transfer-pump-63144.html

Perfect, as designed, glad it went well? All I have to do is set the length on the new dipstick and send it out when they come in.

Yeah, the voting list is not a list unfortunately, the computer scrambles the names, so I have to go by the posts. I hope to put up a link soon, but until then this will have to do as a list.

I'll go try that, thanks.

For anybody dropping into this topic who's interested in a dipstick. Go ahead and leave a post here stating you want one. But I hope to have enough inventory soon to just put up a link here instead of a list. Thank you.

I'm on 22251, I can't get it to update, when it was in the dealer last, the tech had the same problem, after a week with the truck he got it to update, but it was the Lincoln screen, they ordered a APIM again, once that was installed, it's been okay until a week ago.

My SYNC is so confused, I just did the soft reset, then the radio screen just stayed on afterward, keys in hand, out of the truck, door closed, it still had the screen on, did the reset again and it returned to normal, shutting down with the Ford logo. Tried to do an update and it wouldn't, the...

Yes, that's the shipping sleeve, to protect the wavy area of the stick when UPS flattens the box :facepalm:

Up at the handle, on the bottom of the stick itself, lightly engraved, it's there. They are a matched set, once the fluid level calibration is set on the stick, the hose assembly serial number is engraved in the stick. Have fun today, seems the factory cap is the biggest challenge, there are...

Look around, it's on the underside of the bracket and the underside of the dipstick, the box and backing card as well. Good, turkey day install! do look at the instructions and notes, any questions let me know. Thanks.

I agree, I have been telling them that all along, when it gets cold it goes bonkers, now when I start the truck it's on NAVI, then it jumps to AM when you hit audio, it's the worst it's been, going in next week probably.

The dealer I used to work at the back counter parts guy says he orders APIM's every week across all the models.

I'm on my 4th APIM and about to cross out of warranty and it's acting up again!

That's what gloves are for! So without getting complicated, it's easier to move something stuck with a rapid or quick type action, the slow application of force takes a higher amount of force to move a stuck object.
