No transmission dipstick in Tahoe
Got the tube issue fixed. Seemed to just be low on fluid. 175,000 miles though. Time to trade her in.- MilesofTx

We have a rock driveway. But have never noticed a single drop when parking on concrete. No signs of leaks on the undercarriage.- MilesofTx

No. It was broken off about half way. I'm baffled too. But it's possible it hasn't been check in many years. I naively trusted the local oil change place to check it each time. Probably when they didn't see a dipstick, they assumed it was a sealed system. Or just didn't care.- MilesofTx

Borrowed the correct dipstick from a nice lady leaving church. It showed full now after adding almost 3 quarts. Seems much better. Acts perfect at times but has a hiccup now and then. Hoping it may be computer related and straighten itself out.- MilesofTx

Got the tube installed. Made a dipstick out of a piece of copper wire. 35.2". Seems to work. No fluid on the stick. Added a quart and the tranny still slips like it has a 1500 stall converter. Still no fluid on the stick. Praying tomorrow when I get more fluid it will help.- MilesofTx

At Orielly. They have one. But not the dipstick. I'm pretty sure it's 35.2". I'm hoping a universal will work.- MilesofTx

Yep. Broke right off. Down where you can't see it. No idea where the dipstick went. Thanks so much for your help.- MilesofTx

I can't see any sign of it. Is there any way to tell on the ground?- MilesofTx

Ok thanks. I am really hoping that's it. As bad as it is it's better than replacing the transmission.- MilesofTx

Exactly. Seems like the tube would have held it in. I bought the truck used. Always have the oil changed at a shop. Assumed they were checking the transmission fluid as well. It may not have had one all the while.- MilesofTx

It would be a picture of nothing. I need to get it up on a rack and see if it's totally gone.- MilesofTx

2011 Tahoe 5.3 Transmission is slipping. Hopefully it's low on fluid. However, there is no dipstick. I know where it should be and trust me. It's not there. Any thoughts?- MilesofTx
