How Longs Your Dipstick????

[polarisrider4life]

this is a wierd a$$ question but i just bought a 97 f350 diesel and i have a suspicion that the dipstick may not be the correct one. how many inches long is your 94-98 7.3L dipstick from the very bottom of the handle to the bottom of the stick? thanks guys!! this will help so much!

I don't want to go out and measure it, but the correct part number that should be stamped on it is F4TZ-6750-E or 1824405C1.
Units stamped 1820068C1 will cause the engine to be 2 qts low.

alberta 7.3: my dipstick has 1826628C1 stamped on it and measures 24 & 5/8 inches long from the bottom all the way up to where the metal ends and plastic starts for the small handle piece. Doesn't match any part numbers????

Mine is really long.

This could be the best thread title on the org

I'll have to check mine tomorrow for a part number. The info I posted was something I read some time ago.

for kicks this morning, i put in about 1 & 1/4 quart extra above the "x" zone on my dipstick (where oil level was at when i bought truck and when first noticed oil level was so high before) and the truck idled a lot less choppy and much more smooth compared to the last 2 weeks when i have been keeping the oil at the top of the "x" zone.....just wierd all around man! lol
