Dipstick issue
On the new truck, the handle for the dipstick had been broken off. I finally got it weaseled out with some needle nose pliers. However, now I can't get the dipstick back in. It is stopped dead in its tracks about 8" from going all the way back in. I have given it all she's got and nothing. I checked out the tube and it looks to not be damaged at all. Just won't get passed this spot. Any ideas?

It's the old one. I got it out, the handle was broke off so i used pliers. Now the same dipstick won't go back in. I can inch it in most of the way, but with about 8" left on the dipstick, it is stopped dead in its tracks, I flipped it over and tried but no success. Bent the medal pushing to hard...

What was causing it to hold up like that though? i have never experienced a dip stick that would hold up like that on anything. I mean anything. It’s just really weird to me so I’m interested to see what is causing this. The only thing i can think of it being is the dip stick tube bent.

For S&G's, try pushing your tube back towards the firewall about an inch... Then give her a try and see if it smooths out a bit...
