Your kid was cool, he could tell I was a patent dummy, but he still treated me like a good teacher would, explaining it to a dummy, without making me feel like a dummy, class act?

Thanks for the kind words. Brought him up with the ability to explain rather than tell...
Seems to have worked out as he went from a "worker bee" to a full partner in the firm.
I'll let him know about the pat. pending info.

This is good news. Your cheap competitor is well, cheaper made. I’m glad I got the real deal and am proud to say your sticker is on my truck. I don’t ever put stickers on my vehicles, but I really wanted to support this well done product.



Well, after quite a process, I can legally say:

Great work fitz! I've been lurking and keeping track of this a while back, and decided to check in again after spending 20 minutes this weekend using gear oil pump to fill my trans after a service.


Can I get put on the list for a dipstick?

Fitzmotor! Mike, another late-comer to the thread. I would like to order one of your dipsticks as well.

Thank you!

I’m new to this forum so forgive the newb question. How will we know when it’s our turn? Will we get an email or a message here? The last thing I want is to miss my chance because I wasn’t watching the right thing. Thank you.

I'm working on a large batch now, my goal is to get about 100 of them done, at 60 now, I will attach a link here, as well as message those who posted here, I will try to catch all the voters as well, sounds like a lot, but that's my goal?

Yippee! Now I have a Fitzstick and PPE pan both installed. Does that mean I have a real tranny now?
Only if it's NOT the original one... ?

MTB had asked me to design a proprietary funnel specifically for the Fitzstick...this is what I've come up with...this prototype is a 3D printed proof of concept with a integrated hook to provide hands-free stability against the cowl seal...Mike will get quotes for production...probably be injection molded and will include O-rings for seal at the bottom insertion end...who knows what color they can be made of...

What do you guys think of this accessory? Do you need one? Of course you do! ?

Along with this, I think Mike should consider putting my earlier oil fill funnel design into production...it fits great but I wouldn't trust a 3D print not to snap off in the middle of a fill...this over-sized oil fill funnel has the same locking mechanism as the oil cap so it's also hands-free...and of course it would fit all other Ford with the same oil fill fitting...

How about color matched to your Ranger ??? Serialized as a matching pair with the last 4 numbers of your vin ???
Or numbered to match the number on your Fitzstick ???
Decisions decisions decisions !!!!!
Put me down for a set.....:like:
