We have a dipstick problem. I went to check the oil and I could barely get the dipstick out. Once I got it out, I couldn’t get it back in again to check the oil. There is a long sleeve about 4 feet long the dipstick goes through to get to the crankcase. The sleeve is made out of a hard plastic. Turns out it wandered just a little too close to the turbocharger and a section of it melted.
It’s a wonder I even got the dipstick out in the first place. Holt Cat handled it. A new dipstick sleeve, routed a little farther from the turbo, and problem solved. Tomorrow, Wingfoot Tire to check out some odd tire wear on the rear.
