My stock dipstick tube recently got ruined so I went and bought another one from the dealership. after installing it i noticed it looked shorter. sure enough i compared them and it was. the dipstick said the oil was about 2-3 quarts over filled lol. anyway i called the dealership and they said that it was the right one. can anyone shed any light on this??

 

post up some pics of both side by side and a prt number for the new one

 

take the old one to the dealer. could be that gm changed designs or manufatures or something. you may need to change the tube also.

 

I believe the LS1 Corvette stick was shorter, so they may have given you that one instead.

 

I have an original one if you want it PM me. I use the Mr. Gasket stainless one.
