Well im an idiot i guess and when i was installing my pacesetters the other day, i didnt diconect the battery. So when i was pulling the dipstick out of the motor, it hit the starter and arched and melted and mangled the dipstick. Anyway i need a new one, not the tube but the actual stick. I have a 2000 5.3 any help would be great. Thanks

 

Yeah, those starters are dangerous SOB's when the battery isn't disconnected.

 

Yea tell me about it, scared the **** out of me, the motor started to turn over, thankfully there were no plugs in it.

 

12558684 for 99-02 Silverados.

about 11 bucks through gmpartsdirect.com

 

Shipping is probably $89.50 though.

 

you sure thats the right number? The part is actually only 3 bucks? How can that be?

I check the site again, and it shows first and second design. How do i know which i have.

 

Well i just checked the old dipstick and that is the right part number....THANKS!
