E40d turbo dipstick ?

[Fordfarmer123]

I have a .088 ats turbo and I need the tranny dipstick for a e40d turbo 7.3 idi.
Does anyone have one they could sell me ?

Someone here did away with the dipstick and added a sight glass (tube?) To the tranny's pan. Pretty neat.

At one point, Thewespaul had one. He may have another or that one still. Try sending him a PM.

 

[Thewespaul]

I’ve got one, but I’m keeping it. Using it as a model to start making replacement units, should be available in the new year.

 

[IDIBRONCO]

That should sell well. I can see a real call for these. They'd even be good for people who don't want to stand on a stool to check their ATF on a N/A truck.

Will a regular dipstick work from a factory turbo? And let me know when you sell them I might be in the market for one still

 

[IDIBRONCO]

I believe that it will. That's what Wes and I were talking about.

Sorry I missed your comment, it will be just like factory and will come with a new dipstick. If you’re junkyard diving now then I believe you can use one from an obs powerstroke with some work.

I'm interested when you have one available.

I have one bent all up to clear. No idea if its still accurate.

I made my own tube and extended my dipstick for my turbo install. I also considered buying a flexible kit... google for "flexible transmisison dipstick"... Summit has them. This would probably be the easiest solution; this doesn't explain why I did mine the hard way.

Mine looks like a crinkle fry
But still works it just only goes in one way.

You mean this? It is about six up from the bottom.
