Hello I’m curious if anyone has purchased this and has any feedback (good or bad), I’m looking for the easy way to perform a fluid exchange using a dipstick flush machine, but that’s a hefty price tag just want to check in first.

Thanks

Seems Like a worth wild investment. I am putting this on my list of "upgrades".

Yea I’m thinking it’s my next mod, during the installation of my Titan intercooler I disconnected my transmission cooler lines to make things easier and I saw how discolored my transmission fluid is, we use the dipstick style fluid exchanger at my shop and thought this would make things very convenient

Yes, I installed one last year. The true value of this thing is that it makes transmission filter and fluid service much less painful - at least on the GEN1 6.2L V8 engines. The fluid level must be checked when the engine is running and the transmission is up to normal operating temperature, and the stubby factory "dipstick" is so close to the exhaust that there is no way to check the fluid level without burning your hand. It took three weeks for the skin to grow back on my knuckles the first time I serviced the transmission.

Nice cheat for anybody who doesn't want to use the supplied tek screws. Also puts both dip sticks in the same place.

I wouldn't do that. The oil dipstick is already failure prone, so I wouldn't want to add weight to it. They are pain to replace, requiring the manifold be removed.

You are probably right. Might modify later.

That must be an east coast thing out here in the west that pretty much never happens.

Make your own bracket and use the studs on the valve cover to mount it.
