5.0 Oil Dipstick tube needed.

[LittleMagnum]

What are 5.0 owners doing when they need oil dip stick tube ? I would rather not get a junk yard one, most are rusted out or on there way out, up here in Northeast. Is there a after market one that fits are X ? I have 2001 5.0 that needs a new tube, if you have extra good one, PM me...Thanks

For information purposes only make sure you get one form an Explorer or Mountainner with the cast manifolds. Ford changed the shape of the dipstick tube 2-3 times through the years.

Check Mustang forums. Those guys don't use them when they buy our motors.

Have you tried a dealership?

ThEy didn't carry them about three years ago when I last inquired. They told me to hit the JY.

Figures. But it probably wasn't a highly sought item.

Ther is always Lokar

Check corral.net

Those guys buy the Explorer/Mountaineers for the Engine Block/heads/intake....and discard everything else...

I bet someone on there has a few of them they will sell for cheap.
