dipstick location

for a friend

if the friend is the machanicly inclined person why dont you show him/her, i beleve they are passenger side, its a yellow stick and should say oil right on it, tell your friend they cant miss it

A better idea, tell your friend to read the owners manual which should have come with the truck. There is so much info in there that they should know, not just the dipstick location.

If you know a little more about cars than they do you can show them what's what under the hood. It should only take about 10 - 20 min

yeah you really cant miss it, unless you have manual tranny and looking for tranny dipstick. then you will miss it for there isnt one. but if your friend would read the owners manual theyll figure it out.

^^^ there is to a tranney dip stick, its a red "pop" style one in the back by the distributor

on a 5spd?!?

How can I find and oil the muffler bearings?LOL:)

if it has a clutch, the tranny doesnt have a dipstick

movin2stereo, its right next to the blinker fluid!

god dont you guys know anything?! the muffler bearing oil is circulated around with the reare differential fluid, it draws off of that... what else would that ling going over and to the break be to? i mean c'mon :biggrin:

Don't forget to check the brake compressor oil too, you don't want those brakes to run out of air suddenly.... lol

and don't listen to my last coment, there is a such thing as air brakes but not on your truck

yeah, they put air breaks on big trucks and small imports, notice that they make the same sound at oppisit times? when a truck stops it goes pshh, when a talon takes off really quickly and it shift gears it goes pshh, they should get their breaks looked at, or quit hitting them when they are accelerating...

Thanks dmbrisket. I needed that laugh!!!

The muffler bearing is a dealer only item. It take very special tools to grease this and very few shops will invest in such a tool.

It is best to go to the dealer and ask them to take care of this before it is to late and cost you very much money if it happens to go out. And the heat involved within the muffler is murder on the grease in this muffler bearing. I hear that they may well go to a sealed bearing in a few years and one will no longer have to worry about this.

One needs to remember to regularly change the air in the tires as well, bet lots of people forget this too, and it is very important.

if it has a clutch, the tranny doesnt have a dipstick

So if it has a clutch-pack, does it also have a dipstick-pack?

^^yeah were all members of an online automtive board

Several years ago, a friend of mine, true story, was in a Chevy shop in Little Rock, Ark., he had a problem with his car and was speaking to the service manager.

And!

A elderly woman came up and said, excuse me, are you the service manger.

The service manger said, "I am, could I help you?"

Yes sir, I live in Oklahoma City and just bought this car new and I am on a trip, but was told to stop and get the air changed in my tires as 2,300 miles, I now have 2,287 and I fear to go any further.

My friend said the service manger never cracked a smile and said, "Yes, we will get right to it, where is your car?"

Said they pulled the car in and acted like they changed the air and the woman left extremely happy getting back on her journey.

The service manger told my friend you would not believe the nut cases we get in here where someone is pulling a practical joke on these elderly people, we just go along with them when possible.



A blonde was driving home after a game and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out.

So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tailpipe.

Nothing happened. So she blew a little harder, and still nothing
happen.

Her roommate, another blonde, came home and said, "What are you doing?

The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. The roommate rolled her eyes and said, "Uh, like hello! You need to roll up the windows first."

A bit off topic, but maybe I will be forgiven.

^lol!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the laugh again guys. I needed it after my new mig welder got stollen from my shop.

I wonder why they didn't take the air tools

All the better to make some coffins with ( I also do wood work)

someone just stole a tig welder from a shop around here, that reall sucks though that your shit got stolen! you dont steal the air tools because they dont have as high of a value, they would go through all the work of taking, loading and distributing for little profit

Did anyone find the dip stick?

Maybe the dipstick doesn't want to be found? :lol:


Seriously ... I don't think we know which dipstick they are looking for.

which one? oil, tranny? manual or automatic

it could still be the power steering dipstick

it could still be the power steering dipstick

Here we go again ..... :jump3:

Guys, this is getting a little ridiculous.

This person asked a legitimate question and you guys are being complete asses responding like this.

I honestly thought you were above stooping to this level.

Mocking new members in the forum will NOT be tolerated, nor condoned by me or any of the administration.

I am seriously disappointed in you guys, I thought you were better than this. :(

From now on, if you are not willing to help, SHUT UP!

I am not going to tolerate new member alienation.
