Setting up dipstick

Yes what looked to me to be a problem came about because I wasn't aware of the differences in depths of some of the oil pans and applications of dipsticks. When I searched online there was almost no information about the actual differences in Mopar dipsticks and the rest was a domino effect of one thing seeming to make the next thing wrong and the next thing and so forth and so on. Thank you MoparR&D, you have answered several of my questions and have been a big help to me. I appreciate it!

No problem! I actually picked up that method from an issue of Mopar Action some years back. Apparently even from the factory Mopar engine oil dipsticks were oftentimes way off so it's best just to verify the oil level and "make" your own dipstick specific to your engine/pan setup.
