Remote Transmission Dip Stick Aftermarket Support?

[Fitzmotor]

Yes actually, but the instructions cover some very important points, the absolutely most important one is:

DON'T PINCH THE SMALL WIRE LOOM BETWEEN THE ENGINE BRACKET AND THE DIPSTICK BRACKET. (yes i'm yelling)

Because in the 100 or so times I put it on the truck, I pinched it, truck will start, that's all it will do, usual deal, I was in a hurry, truck had been apart all day, I wanted to go to dinner, slapped it on, started the truck, then started cursing.

The second most, I guess would be how you feed it down the back of the engine.

The third would be making sure it is positioned correctly over the back of the engine.

The rest is very basic.

Now you guys, I have a very specific set of instructions that I actually want you to read, not that I ever read the instructions until it wont work or fit.

But yes, if I can get them done, there is important info in there, AND I even included pictures, for example you would not be happy if you tried to feed the dipstick up from the bottom, it's down from the top, but you will see, I will get them out soon.

Is there a digital copy somewhere?

 

[Fitzmotor]

There is a draft in one of the PM's, it's close be needs to be finalized.

So I'm guessing your counting on feedback from those people on how the install went along with notes/suggestions on the installation procedure.

detailed feedback is why you should prioritize shipping to other engineers

That is key instruction there if you're trying to remove the dipstick cap while laying on your back upside down...just as if you're down under...

Right hand rule (for right hand threads) - point your right thumb the direction you want it go and twist the direction your fingers curl.
For left hand threads, use your left hand.

April 13, I asked the question and Mike @Fitzmotor stepped up, kicked all the vendor's ass (none even tried), and is our new hero...this will be making a lot of R5G owners happy...early Christmas!

I will be doing a cold install Saturday morning and provide full report...I'm sure one of you other first adopters will have it installed tonight lol..

One would never know this was a one man garage operation...totally immaculate parts and genuinely feel like total quality...I'm sure having done all the home work he's gone through, it'll undoubtedly fit like a glove...Congrats Mike on a job well done!!!

Dude! You let it touch the ground… Sacrilege ?‍?

 

[Fitzmotor]

Great, I think it’s cool the OP got the first one?

keep the stick separate until the install, it puts pressure on the bend, once the dipstick is place the fitting controls the shape.

 

[Fitzmotor]

And thanks, you kicked off this rabbit hole and I went down it, all in, I can’t wait to hear the feedback, it’s been a long road, hard to believe it is actually sold and out there In people hands, wow.
I hope everyone likes it!

I thought about that so I very gently laid it down...trust me, I cringed a little lol...

Make sure you "pad" the flats before laying a tool on it....no metal to metal allowed...you have the coveted #1 for commercial use, of an untold number still to be produced.
No Pressure, but we're all watching you.....

Box looks like it was slightly damaged in shipping. So unfortunately the stick is probably ruined. I'll do you a favor and pay for shipping and you can send it to me to take it off your hands. ?

 

[Fitzmotor]

Nope, the order of boxes got beat up in shipping, they all look the same?
