Mike has no retailer. I think he is out for a medical right now. Just keep checking his site and be patient a good product is worth the wait.

Thank you for that, went to his site and they are available so I ordered one. Thanks for that, just yesterday they were not available.

Glad to be of help. Lord knows I've received a bunch of help on this forum.

I love blowing money on overpriced upgrades. Can someone sell me on why you need a $250 dipstick, besides the fact that it doesn't come with one from the factory?

Perhaps the $7000 replacement cost for an abused/neglected transmission.

I just have to add that it is not an overpriced upgrade. You won't find a better made aftermarket part than the MBS dipstick - it is worth every penny he charges.

If that's how you feel, then just go ahead and burn your arms and hands checking the level. I'll wait!

I'd like to add this thought.

After nearly selling my truck over severe transmission problems that began with slight symptoms at 5K miles, and progressed to serious symptoms at 12K miles, and became seriously unsafe at 18K miles. I'd like to report that after adding:

1. an MBS Dipstick, (Big Thanks and shout out to Mike)
2. a PPE Deep Pan, (and changing the fluid and filter, replacing 7+ qts of fluid and adding a bottle of LubeGard Platinum)
3. 2 more fluid changes of 7.5 qts each, and another bottle of LubeGard Platinum resulting in 96%+ clean fluid... things got miraculously better.
4. The final touch was adding the Livernois tune for the sole purpose of the improved transmission shift logic

After performing the Adaptive Learning Cycle routine following the tune, the transmission is finally what I expected when I purchased the truck new in 2020. Just completed a 1,500 mile trip and the transmission behaved flawlessly. No cold balkiness, and not a single hiccup or rough shift. Fluid temperatures stayed in the mid 180F- low 190F range, only going over 200F when stopped at lights or in heavy stop and go traffic. I am going to lower transmission temps to stay between 165F - 175F range shortly, insuring longer fluid change intervals and transmission life.

And as an added bonus, changing the fluid is now a simple under the hood process that takes ~30 minutes to complete using a $15 transfer pump from Amazon. And I never spill a drop!
I have absolute confidence that I will achieve a highly accurate fluid level each time.

And all of this was made possible by Mike and his MBS "FitzStick". It was worth every penny!
