I remember the tranny dipstick not seating properly being discussed in other older topics but was not able to find it. I to have that problem. Took it to the dealer and they have ordered a new tube. Wondering if anyone else had solved the problem and what fix they implemented.

#14 of 4362 Coffee Spill by colbates Jul 07, 2000 (12:03 pm)
My truck is just over a month old. Last Monday I was doing a coffee run for the office and a large ice coffee (black with sugar) tipped over from one of those cardboard carry trays. Every day this week I've tried different cleaners to remove the stain from my rear floor carpet. I've been able to lighten the stain, but not remove it yet. With my constant cleaning, the spot has not fully dried yet since Monday. So far here's what I've done/used: Bissel carpet cleaner/extractor with Bissel Cleaning products Tough Stuff Carpet cleaner Baking soda and water 1Lifter carpet cleaner Resolve carpet cleaner One of those "As seen on TV" Spot Removers I've also taken it to a Car Wash/Deatailer and they used an extraction unit and some citris smelling Orange stuff. So far, Resolve has worked the best. It fully removed the stain from the rear floor mat, but I soaked the mat in my tub with diluted Resolve overnight. It has also done most of the lightening on the stain that remains on my floor. Any suggestions would be appreciated. So far, I've had two recommendations from the car wash/detailer: Try an oxidizing cleaner (can't find one in the local stores, yet), or take to a full service detailer that is equipped to dye the rug if necessary. I've also called a few residential carpet cleaners to see if they would try to remove the coffee stain, but none was willing to do such a small job.

#15 of 4362 colbates- try Spot Shot by gsu1 Jul 07, 2000 (12:18 pm)
Try to use a product called Spot Shot. It is in a blue silver and orange can. My wife loves this stuff. We have light beige carpet in our house and one day some grape juice found its way to the floor. Well she grabbed the Spot Shot and it came right up with a little scrubbing. Since then I have used it in my truck to take out grease and mud (Georgia redclay) stains. I hope this help.

#19 of 4362 Though... by themacguy Jul 07, 2000 (6:06 pm)
you might just put in 5 1/2 to start, and then add the other 1/2 as needed. Just to be on the safe side.
#20 of 4362 themacguy - 4.7l oil capacity by iowabigguy Jul 07, 2000 (8:12 pm)
Shop manual calls for 6 quarts, 5.9 and 3.9 are only 5 quarts. 6 quarts puts it right to the full mark on the dipstick. Rick Replies to this message: nmacha1 (Sep 21, 2006 10:22 am) bpeebles (Sep 21, 2006 4:00 pm)
