hey this is kirk had the 99 shuttle bus with lots of engine problems all is well, but when the engine was put back in the oil dipstick tube got bent and the guys told me the actuall dip stick wouldn't go in so i figured they just put a new one in. I was wrong i checked it out today and they don't have a new dip stick in or anything for that matter just need to find a new tube for a 7.3 turbo its kinked about 4 inches down and i can't get the dipstick back in and i don't think i can bend it back out without breaking it or cracking it. If anyone may have one i can get cheap that would be great. Let me know I live in logan ohio /hocking county so hopefully its in driving distance so i can come get it if not we'll find something out thanks again to all who helped on the bus thing.

You can cut the tube past the bend and get a steel brake line and compression coupling from the auto parts to splice a piece back in. It shouldn't cost more than 6 or 8 dollars to fix it that way.

 

ha never thought of that thanks i might just do that then.

 

updates??
