So in other words, you DID buy a car without checking the oil. Dude, its not that hard to get a broken dip stick tube out. Why do you think you need to pull the motor?If nothing else, take a pick and insert it in to the end of the tube and pull it out. You have a new one sitting right there in your hand so you know how far you need to go to reach the end. When you feel the pick drop off the end of the tube, start pulling. If you werent so far away, I would come down and do it for you. Then I would need toyou. HAHAHA Take your time dude.

There are more but that's all that was logged!!!
you could also drill it out. Just make drail the oil when you are done. Most of the shaving should come out when you drail the oil. use a magnetic drain plug if you are worried about remaining shavings.
my major dilema is i only have hand tools here. i do most of my major work back in parkersburg.
also its really really cold outside. and i have no where to do it. i have no where to safely jack the car up if need be right now.
I would need to
ill meet you somewhere if you will kick my ass.
In his Raptor thread, he says he's 6'4" / 250lbs. Good Luck !!!ill meet you somewhere if you will kick my ass.
I have a thought [and I've never fooled around with my dipstick before], but first question is: Does the oil actually come out of the hole where the dipstick is broke off? If it doesn't, drain the oil out, dump 5.5 quarts in and drive the f'n thing until it warms up enough to fix it.
If oil does spray out the hole under normal operating conditions, I guess you are screwed.
1. i asked him to kick my ass :) i deserve it
2. no it doesnt come out. but i have an idea. :)
FYI, you DO NOT need to pull the engine to drop the pan. Heck, you can even change the oil pump and pickup without pulling the engine.
i thought the k member be in the way
Looking forward to it you going to be around this weekend

Why are you taking it somewhere to get a dipstick put in? And if you need someone to check the air in your tires I know a good mechanic
Just bustin your balls still..

I never thought so, at least not from what I've heard. I thought you had to lift the engine up slightly to drop the pan...
