Default Engine Oil Dip Stick

Does anybody know of a website that I could order a dipstick and the tube for a 93 S-10 w/4.3 Vortec CPI 4 wheel drive? Or does anybody have one laying around that I could buy from you?

lol that sucks but i guess its better to be missing then be rusted and broken off inside the tube. those things are a pain sometimes to get out

If you have access to a pull-it-yourself junkyard, you can find a factory dipstick for a lot less cash!

Thumbs up

If you go to junk yard and find your year model dipstick of anothe blazer or same style engine in the S-Series, i drilled a 1 1/2 hole in the oil pan close to where i knew the dipstick was. you will have to pound it out because it's a press fit and it is very very tight.

If that don't work then you can call the chevy dealer and it should run you nothing more than $23 bucks because thats what i was going to do but i saved fifteen bucks at the junkyard. I hope your dipstick isn't broken off in side or else you would have to remove the pan.
