T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? Which one doesn't leak and is accurate? Do they both come ready to bolt in, or does either need work? Are the dipsticks marked for fuel levels?

Re: T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? I have a Lokar, its reads pretty accurate....the only thing I think had to be done was that the part where it goes into the tranny had to be sealed up....

Re: T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? Bos, I thought your dipstick assembly leaked a lot? Did you guys finally fix that?
Any more experiences?

Re: T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? Terry what headers does your friend have??? The dipstick shouldnt be anywhere near the headers.
PSJ if you get one of my dipsticks I will have "DO NOT PUT FUEL HERE" for you on the top. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

My MADMAN dipstick bolted up perfect and comes into the engine bay right where the stock one used to be.
It's a no brainer which one to go with. Get the Lokar one if you like feeling around behind the head for the dipstick. It's SHORT.

Re: T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? THe only reason I bought a LOkar was because Madman didnt take credit cards. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
Re: T400... Lokar or Madman dipstick? Madman dipstick here. i have no idea how it could end up near somebody's headers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . anyways, it doesnt leak, reads accurate as far as i can tell, and even lined right up with the bellhousing bolt without any tweaking
everybody i have talked with who used the Lokar said it is too short and therefore a PITA to fill

I hope you get a credit card service soon! It's a hassle to pay cash all the time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
