[MuscleMan305]

I know its not the 9336 miller tool that costs double, but can this also be used? http://www.etoolcart.com/atflevelgauge-daimlerFiattransmission7226.aspx

Also has anyone figured out a way to make their own or if a generic one from any auto part store will do?

I used a dipstick from Ram Pickup and trimmed the length.

I just ordered one from my Snap-On tools dealer. $70 bucks I believe.

I tried to get a dipstick from a Ram, but there are many different ones, even withing the same model year & series. (1500, 2500, etc) The plug size is not the same on all Ram dipsticks.

I guess going to a boneyard is one option.

Do you remember what the part # was?

I ordered 1 from the dealer & there was a heavy duty & light duty whatever. I don't remember which I ordered, but it did not fit the tube diameter.

I didn't have the heart to order another after returning the one they ordered for me that I had opened to try for fit.

if it's long enough to hit the bottom of the pan and has 10 mm graduations, it'll work just fine.

Just measure cold (30mm), then drive for 30 min. and measure hot (70mm). The chart is just a luxury for the dealers so that they dont have to waste time driving the car around until tranny temps hit the operational 160-180.

[MuscleMan305]

I'm just going to bite the bullet and purchase this dipstick, if it works I'll let u guys know. I know $44 is far from cheap, but it sure as hell beats 70 for the miller. Times sure are tuff for me though, I'm really crossing my fingers someone posts a sure shot alternative, as it stands the Ram truck sticks vary too much and I dont have the time to make a gazzilion trips to the dealership.

Well down here in hot and muggy South Florida, it might even be possible to get the job done in 15 if you drive the car hard enough.

I love the look of your rims by the way! Those are 18"?, what are u using to get the car to sit so low on them?
