locking oil dipstick?

[stssilverado]

Does anyone know of a locking dipstick set-up? I've even rigged up an oil pvc catch can and am still blowing my dipstick out. Any ideas?

Can you use the same kind of dip stick that the tranny has? I think our trucks have a locking tranny dip stick. You might be able to go to a junk yard and get one--then rip out the stick from the locking handle and insert your oil dip stick onto it. But even if that works, I don&#39;t know if the neck of the oil dip stick tube will accomodate the locking mechanism... I would say test it out to see if it locks with your tranny dip stick, but the stick my be too long...

damn brandon, try lokar and see what they have. my tranny dipstick is a lokar and its in there pretty damn tight. im sure u could make the stock tranny dipstick work with some fabricating.

exactly for an N/A engine there should NOT be that much, I realize they built it with a large ring gap for nitrous but damn mine was gapped at .03 top and .024 second which is HUUUGGGEE for a street motor and I still didnt have that problem even running it to 7K a few times.

Good Idea, I am thinking of buying one now.

I have heard good and bad things about them though?
Anyody have any experience with the Valve Cover Breather?

After looking at that site, i believe that the guy cuts a hole in the factory oil cap and glues these filter on top of them. If so you could make your own for very cheap.

You might have &#036;5 to &#036;20 in a filter and everyone has some glue laying around the house. Looks like i found my next little project. LOL
