I need a new transmission dipstick and a spare tire winch. I called the local dealership and holy heck the parts are expensive. The local auto parts doesn't carry them. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go to find some affordable options? I have come up empty handed when searching online. So either they aren't common or my research skills are lacking.

 

Funny thing is I have a auto dipstick tube and dipstick I am looking to get rid of. If interested holler at me and we will see what we can work out.

 

Good deal. We are going to try and rig the dipstick back together since I have all of the parts. If I don't have any luck I will hit you up for sure. Thanks!

Side note: I found spare tire winches online for a lot better price than the dealership. Apparently this is a fairly common problem. Who knew?

 

You *should* be able to get the dipstick and tube from a junkyard, possibly the spare tire hanger too. (both are probably the same on gasoline versions of the truck)
