Question: Dip Stick Tube Come Loose???

[SmokeShow]

Can these or are these known to come loose? Mine is loose... like grab a hold of it and wiggle it and it flops around like a dog's ear. I can move freely from the downpipe all the way over to whatever it hits on the pass. side area first. It;s LOOSE.

Here's what I DO know, I didn't loosen it.


All I've heard of and read about says these are not always easy to get out when trying to. So how likely is it that one could work loose over time?


What's the recommended method of securing it back in it's spot? They aren't held in be any fastener(s) are they?





Thanks

it has a bracket spot welded to it and hooks ( nuts ) onto the bellhousing bolts ( they have studs off the back side of the bolt ) may have broke the weld ? or it wasnt re-istalled correctly .

I broke both my welds when i put in my diamond eye pipe. Really easy to do.

There should be a bracket on the dipstick tube somewhere around the bellhousing area, and two of the bellhousing bolts have studs that stick out from the head that have nuts on them that hold the dipstick tube in place.
