Truck dipstick replacement for 5.3 ? Is there an aftermarket dipstick available for the 5.3 truck motor that is accurate ? I am putting a 5.3 in my jetboat and the dipstick is wayyy too tall for my taste , but I am not willing to sacrifice accuracy to get something that looks cool . TIA

Don't You have access to a welding machine or know somebody that has 1 ? I would say though if You want 2 buy 1 ,,,,,,,wherever they sell aftermarket oil pans . Probably Summit ,,,, Skoggin Dickey try those.

I guess I could probably cut and weld something , but I would prefer to find something a little nicer looking . The engine on the boat is out in the open and on display , we try to have them look as good as possible . Maybe something billet ?
