Photo of old part best in Motor Parts

Fits perfectly on my 2010 Silverado 5.3 V8 z71. It's a bit tricky to get in, but you just have to force it a little. My dealer dipstick fits this tube with no problems. I've seen some people say they need to buy another thinner probe.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Minus present

08 Escalade exact replacement

exact replacement for my 2008 Cadillac Escalade. It's a pain to install. I ended up having to bend a metal brace against the pipe to get the pipe in place and then bend the brace back to install the screw.

Pros
  • perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • poorly designed

Direct Fit BUT: Engines and Engine Parts

Trying to install this on a 2011 Yukon Denali. You'll need to cut about 1/4 inch from the bottom for ease of installation. It's too long and breaks in the middle when you try to push it in. I haven't installed it but I'm 100% sure it will fit after trimming.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Secret

Didn't work on my 2011 Tahoe

Curves not quite the same as the factory ones on my 2011 Tahoe, tried to get it to work but something wasn't right, went to the dealer Next day got an AC Delco , and it was folded a little differently and went in, but it was hard to get it in.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Not bad

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…

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • Nothing here
