Greetings,

I'm about to do a transmission filter and complete flush, once all the stuff arrives in the mail. A PPE pan with a drain plug, new filter and a dipstick for checking their fluid from up top like Ford should' ve done. I just received a Chinese made dipstick from Amazon, $35 bucks, but it doesn't look too good to me. I'm wondering about the ones from B&M Hydro that cost a ridiculous nearly $300 bucks, and what main differences would be, besides maybe (maybe) made in the USA. Please let me know your experiences with either the cheaper ones from Amazon or the B&M one. Thanks. The truck is a 2016, XLT 4x4, 5.0 SC with 60k on it, and I intend to change the fluid every 50 or so thousand miles, so I'm gearing up with the proper equipment and the truck mods to make it to be a fairly easy job. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

 

I have the B&M. Prices have gone WAY up since I purchased though. It is a quality braided stainless steel tube and seals at the trans with an O-ring. Buy once, cry once. No regrets here.
