Re: 01 6.0 Broke oil dipstick tube

Sorry for the delay on responding.

Ended up going back to work and have had very little time to work on the truck.

To answer your question. I was having a bad miss after i drove the truck and got it up to operating temp. Since my last post. I have installed a new starter. Replaced the intake gaskets. Valley and intake. Replaced the valve cover gaskets. Every gasket was wore out and leaking or just pretty my bad. I have to replace the plugs again due to fouling them out when i went to start it. But thats minor.

I ended up getting the stuck peice of tubing loose. But it ended up dropping into the pan as well. Ive talked with several folks who have had the same issue. And was told to just let it be. It wont hurt anything being in the pan.

I do plan on doing an oil change and maye seeing if anything comes out. If not. No worries i guess. But the truck is back together. And running. Just missing due to plugs. So new plugs and start driving it again. Next issue to fix will be the oil pump soon.
