New week, new problem: Dipstick Tube
Dipstick tube is currently held in place by the dipstick. The part of the tube that is external to the oil pan is flanged at the end, or splayed open and just kinda rests on the block.

Question 1, is part of it broken off in the oil pan? I think so because of what the manual looks like, but I've never seen it first hand Question 2, Do I need to pull the oil pan to fix? I think I might be able to get a bolt in and suck it out if it is broken?

Quick update. Replaced the fuel filter and air filter. Battery cable melted. Was barely holding on anyway, easy fix. I pulled the carpet and large junks of the floor board came with it, even part of one of the seat brackets is layer flaking. Appears the aux tank switch area is still in good shape I hope. Currently my Green Jeep is now the Bedrock Bandit. Also matched the color code 484, Avocado Mist and Champagne White. Gonna see if I can get some samples from Grizzly and see if they can match the green.

Any progress?

None really. Had a few firearms that needed to be acquired and a daughter to prepare for. Brakes came up and started working 'magically', so it sees some drive time at least.

160$/gallon as well. Compared to about 82$ of the Grizzly Grip. Suppose samples are in order. Thanks!
