Chevrolet Tahoe Oil pan Problem

This vehicle was given to me by a friend that went to Korea. When I got it it did not have an oil dipstick. I got a dipstick and it will not go into the oil pan. It goes through the tube and seems to hit a wall. The Tube seems to be aligned with the oil pan. Any suggestions????

You either have the wrong dipstick or the tube has been damaged or kinked. You may have to replace the dipstick tube also.
