Default truck manifold oil dipstick?
My stock one is hitting the manifold. I thought about bending it but i have a truck dipstick that fits almost perfectly. But i do not believe that one will work correct?

Try it. Itll take like 5 minutes to try it out. Is the dipstick the same length?

No the truck one is like 1.5X longer but so is the dipstick housing. I was wondering about the difference in the pans. I have no oil in there yet.

I guess i will just have to bend it. I have already started but stopped to see about the truck dipstick.

I have the lokar flexible one. In my opinon it is about 6 inches short, from actually being able to mount it in a good spot where it is really usable.
