Hello all, new guy here. I realize that this has probably already been discussed; but, I am missing my automatic transmission dipstick out of my 2002 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 Liter. I have called everywhere and have found out that it is discontinued. The mopar part # is 53032461AB and I guess there no replacement? I appreciate any suggestions you have thank you.

First off, I certainly hope you have some sort of cover over that tube. If not, you're getting a ton of crap in it that definitely will harm the transmission.

I'm not entirely sure if the tube/dipstick is the same for a 3rd gen as it is with a 2nd gen, but we share the same transmission. So you might start looking at junkyards.

Thanx for the reply DodgeDude, yes I do have it covered. I have discovered on my searching that this particular truck came with an extra long dipstick that is discontinued. I talked with a transmission guy and he looked at it and was surprised by the length of it. He said it was longer then his diesel. So where I am at is just purchasing a new tube and indicator from another model with the same transmission. The one out of my old 2000 Dodge Ram would have probably worked if the insurance company would not have taken it away. (T-Boned by a drunk driver) So that's what I am going to do as soon as I can.

Can you PM your VIN? There is one dealer with that part number in stock but they are more than 2,000 miles away. I'm assuming Columbia or the like...
