Thanks,

the lokar tranny dipstick is fine, however the lokar engine dipstick is a little short. Compared to the stock oil dipstick, the "full line" will be between the two D's on the word "ADD". If you can live with that, you'll be good to go. I also had to flaten, re-drill, shorten, and rebend the supplied stainless bracket to fit the way I wanted it too

That would be cool if they could refine based on your feedback for the truck guys...

I ordered both sticks... I will have to modify the oil dip stick mount anyway.

Thanks grip
