My tube went in fairly smooth until it was about an inch away from seating. Then I could feel it catching something a little. But if I applied a little pressure it would go. Buddy said it was getting caught on the texture of block. So he came over pushed it in then I put dip stick in and went...
I showed my buddy, I just reread your previous comment and saw that you’re having trouble with the actual dip stick. The tube for me was hard to go in but my buddy came by pushed it in and now when I put the actual dipstick in it goes in smooth no problem. So not too sure what you have going on...
I have a 2014 5.0. Yes everything OEM. The one I took out has a slightly different part number then the new oem one. Called ford said both are right. I just don’t like the different lengths and don’t like that about a inch or 2 away from seating it starts hitting something.
Lol I have the same issue. Took my old one out and went to replace with new OEM ford part and it’s definitely shorter? I called ford they said that’s the part number but just wanna make sure not gonna have any issues.
