Hey all,

Arte there any dip sticks available for the 07 tranny?

Got one of those "Dealer Service Only" plugs and have been waiting for the after market to catch up.

Any Leads?

I know I need a infered thermometer and a special dip stick and a poop sheet telling you wher the level should be for a given temp. All that I can find so far, except the dipper sticker.

You just need a dip stick. Dont need a infered thermometer.

That is what I thought.

The dealer, and a very reliable independant service dude I know said that Chrysler took this from Mercedes. And that they wanted to discourage the insta lube shops from servicing their tranny's and to generate more revenue by not including the dip stick and trying to force the customer BACK to the stealership.

I know Miller tools, who supplies the stealerships with tools, has one but so far I have had no luck getting my hands on it.


And The method of checking the all electric tranny inn the KJ's and other chrysler's is with the temp probe and the scale showing the level at a given temp reading. I am sure that is a little over necessary, but that is what I have heard from an indipendant mechanic who I trust pretty well.


Any way the diper sticker is NOT available for the 07's and is a different one from the 06's and earlier, according to my search, so far.

At first I was not able to find anything out

Ordered the dip stick on Friday for almost 7.00 USD. freaking shipping was 9 bucks.

We will see if it does the trick. I will assume that if it shows in good level, and I am having no problems then it is the proper dip stick.

An update on this.

I got the part and it is the wrong part. it is about 7 inches TOO long. wont even go in the tube all the way.

Anybody have some other possible cures for this?

For '07+ Chysler vehicles went to sealed trannies and that dipstick is used for all the vehicles,if it's the dealer special tool.You need the '07 FSM to determine where the level should be on the special tool for your KJ.
