Review on Dorman 917 365 Transmission Dipstick Tube by Dewitt Bhattacharya

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That will work. Here are some tips.

Saw it at the local parts store and this was the correct part number (although the information above says it is not. I have a 2011 Silverado). They install when the transmission is off the truck, so don't expect it to snap right away. Also, its length makes it almost impossible to put it back in place, it gets stuck like in the picture above. The right way is to lower the crossbar, but it takes a lot of time and becomes a huge job, so I cut it. If you take a hacksaw and just cut off the flared part (about 1/2 inch) it almost snaps into place. Just remember to deburr and make sure there are no metal shavings in the pipe. You must replace it.

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • Nothing here
