Locking Dipstick at 10.99

[Osubeaver]

For 2010 any vehicle running 10.99 or quicker is required to have an "NHRA accepted" locking type transmission dipstick.

Does anybody know what "NHRA accepted" means or where to get an Allison dipstick that meets that criteria? Is an older style Allison dipstick with the locking deal okay?

Thanks

I remember driving over some trans. fluid at the track in Carlsbad about 15 years ago, I didn't think it was too funny

I was working on jaredduramaxs truck on the return road one night trying to get it out of the way when his tranny gave up and wouldnt move. We were close to the guard rail and a rail car made pass and blew a tranny line which coated his slicks and put him into the guard rail where we working luckily he just side swiped it and not head on. The track should have never let him run until we were out of the way but somehow they couldnt see us pushing. Im glad I had a spare set of underwear in the truck.

I don't remember if I read it here or over on compdiesel, IIRC could weld a ring on the tube & wire tie the factory dipstick

The factory locking dipstick is fine to pass tech . but Dodges didnt come with a locking dip stick , which is were some of the talk has come from .

Is it just me or is my factory LMM dipstick not locking?

Not locking. Neither is the one on my '03 if I remember correctly. I'll have to dig it out tomorrow and make sure.

My 03 has a locking dip stick on the tranny and it is factory.

I have a factory locking dipstick from a LB7. I've talked to a few tech guys about it and a welded ring on the tube and a zip tie between the tube and dipstick is hard to argue with.
