Oil dipstick tube brace broken


Recommended Posts

I just noticed today that the oil dipstick tube brace is broken on my 2008 Silverado K1500 with 5.3L code J engine. It is broken where the brace is bolted to the right head. Is this a common problem? Has anyone else experienced it? How difficult is it to replace? Will the old tube pull out easily and a new one simply slide in the hole, or is there more to it that that?

My local Chevy dealer had the tube in stock and I purchased it for $31.35 plus tax. It was very easy to install. It took me no more than 30 minutes. This would be a 15 minute or less job for someone who had done it before.
