I need to know how long the oil dipstick is from the bottom end to the little pin that holds the handle on. I can't find one anywhere in the salvage yards here. I got one from a 5.2 that I want to shorten. I have the 3.9 in a 1995 ram.

 

Can't tell you the length, but Ebay usually has what you need for these Rams.

Call the dealer, this should be the part number: 53020927
It's like $13 at the dealer or $30+ at this site http://www.jimsautoparts.com/mopar_p...il_systems.htm
It's technically called an "engine oil level indicator" ...so ask for that instead of "dipstick".

 

Thanks Matt. I had already called about the one on the ite you listed. They told me i would have to have the vin # off the truck. I didn't have the truck at my house at the time. 30.00plus shipping is a little much. I alreay have one out of a v8. I am a machinist so I can alter it. I just need some one to measure theirs from the tip to the seating surface. I didn't think I would have any trouble getting someone to do that for me. Oh well.

 

Not as many sixes around here.....

 

Someone with a 6 cly had a thread the other day about towing a car...but I cannot remember who it was.

Maybe naming the thread something along the line of "6 cyl dipstick" or "6 cyl oil level indicator" would have gotten better responses.....

 

Interesting. What color was the truck?

 

$16.86 is $30? I must be in an alternate universe. And that is from a Dodge dealer and OEM.

If you had bothered filling in the blanks for a 95 3.9 you would have seen that stick was incompatable. 94-95 were on there own. That stick is for a 97 up. The dip stick tube is smaller on a 94-95. I had already been on that site before i posted here.

 

On where own?
