Here is an easy one...

[MZahn]

I have a rebuilt trans thanks to last weekends labor. My dipstick tube is between an A/C line and heater hose that both enter the dash. Did I put this in the wrong spot ? Seamed like the correct spot as the backet-bolt hole lined up as it slid into the seal.



It is moving over and vibrating on the A/C line when I put it in gear. Could someone with an '05 with an automatic take a peek under their hood, please?



Thanks

I just looked at my 05 and you have it in the right spot.

Thank You, Bill.

Guess I'll give some tweeking.

Bend the mount bracket until it doesn't hit anything. Did the same with mine when I put the trans back in.

That is the right spot. Mine did this too and it drove me nuts.



I cushioned clamped the dipstick tube to the steel heater pipe to keep it from vibrating.



Cushion clamps are available at any auto parts store. They are steel clamps with a rubber insert on the ID of the clamp. I used a 1/4" capscrew, washers and a nylock nut to fasten the two clamps together.



Don't know why Dodge didn't do this... probably would have cost them $0. 50



No more vibration of the dipstick tube.



Hope this helps,

Louis

If you moved the A/C line(s) at all, run down all of them, there is a couple of spots on the fender that will not all allow any movement, just to be on the safe side I would split loom all the A/C lines. It takes no time to rub a small hole and leak all the refrigerant out$$$$
