dipstick tube

[rpm-inc]

There is no tab or bracket on this thing to bolt it to the valve cover?

Should be the front valve cover bolt.

If anything, it would be the second bolt back. But mine has no tab. And neither does this one.

The passenger side exhaust manifold is the same as a superduty. Why are there different dipstick tubes? Mine just flops around and will probably pop out with some crankcase pressure.

Checked the oil today for the first time in two years.....haven't driven it in two years either. Anyways, that is when I noticed it.

Interesting. Thanks. Are those your pics or do you have a link? Those pics are small! It is very possible I misplaced that part, or it was missing off the truck when I got. If I can't get that part, any reason a SD tube won't work??

Not my pics, but my bracket is identical. I have no idea about using a SD setup.

SD dipstick is longer I believe.

SD dipstick is longer I believe.

I think so too

The obs trucks have a bracket that bolts to VC like in the pic, then a thin piece of metal with a tab that inserts in the bracket and goes over dipstick to hold it in place.

You could probably use a SD tube, but you would need the dipstick and tube because they are longer.

The pan nut is also clocked different on the OBS trucks too, but SD tube should be able to be tweaked enough to work.
