06 Daytona broken dipstick/Yellow ring

Nothing definitive on this on Charger forums. Get a new tube and stick from Chrysler and hope it has been upgraded or order a Billet-Schmillet and try that? Reported to be common on LX cars. Thanks.

Yes, its common. No need for a new tube. Some guys have luck getting it out. I have no such luck. I pull the tube(its easy) and push the dipstick out. Use some white lithium grease on the new one so it doesn't stick again

Thanks for the advice. I'll just get the stick.

Got lucky. Drilled a small hole then tapped it. Got enough bite to pull it out!

I was wondering what they looked like, weird that they make a repair kit for that.. I have the big yellow T-Handle style in my 99 Dakota 5.2ltr/318ci Magnum, {sorry no photo, no breakage either, after 14+ years} I wonder what the differences is, or if there is a difference in length... might be worth a look/shot...
