Quick question about the oil dipstick on this thing. I've seen a lot of
dipsticks in my life, but not like the one in this vehicle. It looks as if
it's twisted into a spiral, sort of like somebody thought that they had to
unscrew it to get it out, and finally gave up. Is this normal? Or did
somebody REALLY screw it up?

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce, I have a 96 Trooper with the same 3.2eng. My dip stick spirals
the same as yours. It doesen't present a problem once one get's accustomed
to the twist when pulled. so much for dipstick engineers. LOL!

Good luck, Ern :)

Thanks for the confirmation :-) I figure that maybe because of twists in
the dipstick tube, they figured a spiral dipstick would be easier to insert?
Pretty strange!
