One of our guys went to check the trans fluid on our 33K mile 2011 Silverado and the dipstick tube came right out with the dipstick. Nice. Stick is covered in dirt. Trans is probably full of dirt too. Whoever heard of a trans dipstick tube failing? Absolutely ridiculous.

Overall the truck has been pretty trouble free, but a dipstick tube broken in HALF? Of all the stupid things to break!!!!
Incredibly frustrating from a small business owner perspective when you rely on these trucks everyday.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

You never hear these stories about Hondas and Toyotas. . I thinks that's because their owners don't check fluids or pay attention..
Maybe it's a new feature like a turkey thermometer? If it pops out it's done>?Powertour off/on since 2002

what's worst is - no matter who made the vehicle - the dealership won't do anything for you. Let's hope after a fluid and filter change and a new dip stick - the trans will still last a long time. hopefully the filter caught most of the nastiness that undoubtedly found it's way into the vacated dipstick hole.There's always something new to learn.
