Angry FML - seriously

I swear to whoever above that if i ever run across the stupid mother that designed the dipstick tube on the 7.3's I'm going to kick him in the ing head. Then I'm gonna find his parents and kick them in the ing head for raising such a complete IDIOT!

anyone got some dynamite I can have, or know of a good way to get the dipstick thing-a-ma-jig out of the oil pan without pulling the whole motor........

Big holesaw and welder. Cut a hole in pan, reach in and grab thing-a-ma-jig, and then weld hole shut. Sorry to hear about that. Hope you find a simple fix.

7.3 engine compartment isn't as jammed as a 6.0 and with a lift a 6.0 can be yanked out in 3 hours. If you have the time and money I would think pulling it to fix it and then while it's out add some more go fast goodies to it would be the best route or you can get a 2 1/2" holesaw and find someone with small hands to retrive the jibber jabber thing.

the whole reason I'm working on it is because I'm taking the go fast goodies out. I will set this mother on fire before I pull the motor....

Sorry I'm not angry at you just pissed in general.

Oh man! I am sorry to hear to hear you are still having issues. Since I didn't hear anything I was hoping it meant you got her fixed.
