    Q:
    How to replace the Dipstick Tube on GMC Savana 3500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first task when replacing the oil level indicator and tube requires removal of the air cleaner assembly along with the engine cover. Begin by unfastening the single bolt that connects the two oil level indicator tubes followed by splitting the upper portion of the tube from the lower section. Clean the old adhesive from the tube surface. First extract the number 4 cylinder Spark Plug followed by the oil level indicator tube bolt before rotating the tube off the engine. Remove old sealer from each part of the oil level indicator tube as well as from the engine block surface. Attach the engine block oil level indicator tube before reinstalling the number 4 cylinder Spark Plug for the installation process. Use gm p/n 12346004 (Canadian P/N 10954380) or equivalent as sealant and apply it to the end of the top oil level indicator tube before attaching both sections. Attach the engine oil level indicator tube to the transmission oil level indicator tube by fastening it with the provided bolt until it reaches 13 nm (106 inch lbs. Torque). The last step involves reinstallation of engine cover followed by installation of the air cleaner assembly.

    Q:
    How to Service and Repair the Engine Oil Dipstick Tube on GMC Savana 1500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    A technician should start the process of engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube service and repair by removing both the engine cover alongside the bolt securing the coolant recovery reservoir. After removal, place the reservoir to the side. Detach the oil level indicator while removing its attaching screw and transmission fluid fill tube which holds it at the oil fill tube lower support. Take the tool to detach the upper segment of the oil level indicator tube from its base section and remove any residue of previous sealer from the tube. Remove the oil level indicator tube bolt while extracting the tube from the engine with a twisting motion and clean both surfaces of the indicator and block from previous sealant residue. Begin installation by using gm p/n 12346004 or equivalent sealant which should be applied 13 mm (0.5 inch) beneath the tube bead before inserting the oil level indicator tube into the engine block through proper rotation. The upper oil level indicator tube needs sealer gm p/n 12346004 or equivalent around its fitting point with the lower half before upper and lower halves get connected together. The bolt for connecting the oil level indicator tube and transmission fluid fill tube to the oil fill tube lower support should be tightened to 5 nm (44 inch lbs.). Continue with the installation of the oil level indicator then put back the engine cover and place the coolant recovery reservoir in position before fastening it down with its bolt.
