Depends on what you speak of.

What year, model, and engine are we speaking about?

get a gasser dip stick and throw in there, i bet it will be easier than finding a specific diesel one.

I have an extra one to 4 :D Let me know if it is the one with the orange deal on the top. That is what I have many of.

there were 2 different ones with the orange deal on top. one style, that was identical to the gasser engines, and another style that had a small orange thing on top, but was way different from the gasser unit.
