2006 vs 2004-2005 oil dipstick tube

[BigRed460]

I broke my oil dipstick tube years ago during my nitrous build and have never been able to find a replacement, I found a 2006 tube and dipstick on eBay this week but it's a different part number.

Can someone with a 2006 post some pictures so I can guess if it works?

The 2006 tube will work however it is a different length than the 2004/2005.
I cant remember if it is longer or shorter.
Once you know your oil pan has the proper amount of oil, remark the dipstick with a notch, paint or whatever...

Why would they have changed the dipstick (I’m curious?)
Did they improve it because of a known fault, or just cheaper to make.

A different dipstick tube adds to the confusion.

I sometimes hear the 2005-2006 RAM SRT-10 held 9.9L or 10.5 US quarts, which would overfill them.

The RAM SRT-10 oil pan capacity is the same from year to year.

Have you tried contacting X2 Builders? That's where I get any parts I need.

Yes I tried X2, I have actually broke 2 tubes over the years. I forget to remove them when pulling the motor.

...and thank you ronnie, that's the perfect solution. I'm just happy to know it will fit.
