$95USD for JRE locking dipstick and tube + $209USD USPS priority US mail :eek:

[/URL]

$93USD for GM 24267838 tube only + $103USD for shipping :eek:

[/URL]

Shipping costs are just crazy :eek:

The lowest i've seent the GM part # is ~$60USD but they only shup within USA

Note that the GM part # looks differnent in shape to the JRE part which we know fits the Chevy SS, so knowing shipping costs hurt, why take any risk with a part that may not fit :rolleyes:
Doesn't apply to the OP, he's in the US.

He's from "way north" :p

But that wouldn't solve the issue of wrong tube shape. Also wouldn't solve the fact the JRE has tube + dipstick whereas the cheapest price i saw was just less than $60 for tube alone...

Luckily he would't have to contend with stupid crazy shipping prices the way we have to :oops:

I’d love one of JRE dipsticks as well, to costly to land one here though, i don’t believe anyone here in Aust. does them. There also suitable for the 6L80 deep sump trans pan upgrade with fluid level

I think they need to be done as a group buy to make the freight costs reasonable. I picked up one from a member here that purchased 3. He kept one, and sold off the other two.
