Any tricks or tips to changing out the oil dipstick tube on an 03 1500 with the 4.7. I don't see anyway to get to the bracket bolt where the tube is inserted.

Thx

 

Pretty sure its the same for the 03 and 2010, just rebuilt my 4.7 and forgot to install the tube before the intake (doh) removed the rear coil pack, and intake tube, shoved my hand back there and used my pinky as a guide to slide the stick in, following the tube, used two extensions and a deep well to tighten the bolt, and installed. Tight squeeze but doable. Stumbled on this asking the same question myself, seen you didnt have a response.

The cool thing about threads, I found this top page of my search on google, and it was the only to come up. Sadly no replies to it. For the next person googling the same question, it will likely come up for them. 6 years later is enough to help the next person on their search. Never hurts to answer a question on the permanent internet.
