Good buy for the price!

Installed on my 6.0 lq4 from 2001 which was replaced by my Avalanche 03 it was tight (as you would expect from an oil dipstick) but the diameter was correct and looked good.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Did the work on parts

Works as advertised, replaced the bent factory dipstick tube on my 5.3. No problem. The only small problem is that he wasn't very comfortable in the block. Almost too easy. Although I haven't noticed any leaks for a month.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • High price

The description said it would fit my truck (2008 Chevy

The description said it would fit my truck (2008 Chevy Silverado 6.0L) but it didn't. Maybe maybe it was my fault that I didn't examine it properly, but I ended up breaking the bottom piece that goes in the oil pan trying to get it to work.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • almost never

Perfect fit for my 2006 Chevy Silverado

Great fit, easy to install. I broke the OEM while repairing the manifold on the block. Thought I was doomed, I tried unscrewing it with a screw but it didn't work. Finally I drove the broken end of the pipe into the engine to get it out. Using a magnetic grip, I was able to easily pull out the portion of the hose that I had inserted into the oil pan after draining the oil. Thought this tidbit might help the next guy. This part worked great and was a well made replacement for the stock dipstick…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Garbage. Don't waste your time. Buy OEM for $12 more.

The oil dipstick tube was scrap! The diameter of the tube was slightly larger than the factory diameter. It was enough not to want to get into the block as easily as the factory does. Upon insertion into the block, the tube snapped INTO THE BLOCK right into the o-ring recess, luckily I was able to bend the pick into a suitable shape to remove the broken piece. Otherwise I would have to pull the pallet to get it out. Buy OEM at Revain for $12 more. Part number 12563918

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • No machine
