Default Help needed from someone with a magnum..

If someone could pull their engine oil dipstick and measure it, I would appreciate it.
Long story short, Im putting a magnum out of a ram in my Dakota.
I "think" the dipstick on a dakota may be longer.
Mine measures 36in. as shown in the picture below.
Thanks for your help.

May also want a pic of just where the 'scale' for the oil level is on the end of the stick.

IDK if there is a difference between 3.9 and 5.2 or 5.9. Mine, 3.9L, measures 32 inches to the base of the handle. Sorry about the blur,enlarge it and you can see the makings on the stick.

I do appreciate you taking the time to measure and get back too me.
Mine is measuring 36in, and I think it needs to be about 38.....
Doing more internet search, I want to try and check 97 and up dakata's and durango's ... The tube is the same for ram, which is the engine I have, but the dipstick is a different part no.
Also, after research, the 92-96 dakota is different then 97-03.
Again, thanks for your time and help.
