Transmission dipstick conversion kit

[steelrain]

A few months ago I replaced the transmission fluid and filter on my 2014 Ram 1500 w/ the ZF 8HP70 transmission. Got some decent burns on my forearms since the exhaust is so close to the fill plug. Anyone know if a company makes a conversion kit to add a dipstick so that the insane method of servicing the transmission is not so difficult?

Not that I’m aware of. I used a soaking wet rag over the exhaust crossover and some gloves to keep my arms off the exhaust. Otherwise it wasn’t to hard for me when I did mine. Annoying yes.
