Broke Dipstick update: Has to be part defect. See & Advise me

I got three pieces of the dipstick out. See pics. The dipstick clearly broke on the stamping of the T. It looks like it got chewed up a bit as well. Not to bad. I found about 3 flakes of metal in the pan.

My plan. Flush pan 3 times with 3 qts of oil. Then just run it.

How much life did it take off my motor?

What else should I do?

I did find about 4 of 5 pieces of this white latex material in the oil change. I think its gasket maker Is it?

Thanks

Fifth wheel or travel trailer

I’m going back in forth on getting a fifth wheel toy hauler or just a regular toy hauler. I currently have a 23ft toy hauler but need to go bigger.Attachment 139168 I’m looking at a 28ft and they have them in a fifth wheel and non fifth wheel. My problem is I have a 2005 Ford F-250 short bed that is lifted. I think the bed is 6 1/2 ft. If I could make it work right without costing a ton of money I would like the fifth. Anyone have any experience with this set up? I know the fifth would tow better but it’s also almost another 1,500lbs. I attached a picture of my truck. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

NEED HELP! Checked oil only have a dip stick

Guys my machine has 80 miles on it but is out of the 6 month warranty. I went to check the oil today and only half a dip stick came out. How much more is in there. What do I do to get it out? IS there a pan i can drop? Do i have to pull the motor to do so? How long is the dip stuck supposed to be. Mine now measures only 6.75" of metal?

Please help…. I cannot believe this.
