That stubby Lokar dipstick sucks,lol. You can get longer ones. They'll even custom build you one,just don't tell them it's for truck,for some reason Lokar goes into meltdown mode if they think you're putting it on a truck.I had them build me a custom 29" long version,as I got tired of trying to check the oil under the brake booster.If you want a custom one,tell them it's for a Challenger with a custom turbo set-up,as they'll build you whatever you want then,just don't tell them it's for a truck,lol.

I will probably end up that route I have long arms but definitely could be longer.

I lived with the short one for about a week,then had them build me one with an overall length of 29" ,lol. I'm not sure why they won't build ones for a truck,but a few guys have had issues getting a custom one,when they said it was for a truck,even though the 5.7 cars use the same basic dipstick set-up. I had no issues getting mine,as I told them I wanted it for a 5.7 Challenger with a turbo set-up,but if i'd said it was for a truck,they'd of probably said they don't have anything. Kurtis/Charonblk had a hellva time getting his about a month after i'd got mine,but he made the mistake of saying it was for a truck,which caused them to go into meltdown mode ,lol

Pick a facebook page you like,and i'll post a pic of it there.I can never get pics on here. Mines long enough that it bolts to the top of the manifold under one of the studs that holds the engine cover on,brings it right up front basically in the general vicinity of where the stock dipstick tube would be.
