Ya,got a new dipstick. I was hoping it would come with the Tube.It still reads high even with 5 qts. Not to sure what's going on with it.
The parts guy's are not the sharpest tools in the shed.Was there for an hour watching them look for it.
Now i hunt for the right tube. Too hot to look at PNP.I would rather just buy it.

If you're going to be at Dave & Busters this weekend I can bring the new one I had powdercoated.

I gave you the P/N in post #6 of this thread.

That obviously wasn't any help to you. So I won't bother to look up the PN for the tube. If the number I gave you was wrong, or not cross-refrenced, etc, it would be helpful to know these things.

The part # helped me get the dipstick,but when at the dealership i asked them for the tube,that's when all Hell broke lose and had to watch two parts guys try to look up the tube.After an hour i got (it's not avaliable) I got tired of asking them questions and gave up.
I do have a new dipstick so thanks for the part # DaveP, I'm half way there!

I noticed this weekend with the late model dipstick tube and the stock dipstick it reads spot on.

I know for an exact fact I put 4.5 quarts in a fresh motor and with this combo it read exactly in the middle of the range.
You will have to mod the newer style dipstick tube end where the dipstick goes in since it flares out too big but that is no big deal

I know this is an old thread and hoping to get some help on this. You used a late model dipstick from say an 94-96 4.3 vortec and a stock syty dipstick and the oil level read correctly
