oil pan removal

[chipster]

has any one removed the oil pan on an `06 3/4 ton crew cab 5. 9, 4x4?? I`ve latched on to a rolled truck, and it has a hole in the pan. I need to pull the pan to weld it up. what`s the drill on removing the pan???

Probably need to take fan schroud loose first then take oil pan bolts out (10mm) and then jack up front of engine. The pickup tube for oil pump which is on front bottom of engine will have to be taken off (10mm) so oil pan will come out between engine and frame crossmember. There is 4 bolts total holding this unit on. My 2 wheel drive had a brace under transmission that had to be removed also. Oh yeah the 2 motor mount bolts (18mm) can be just loosened not completely removed because the motor stand is sloted in frame and it sits down it. Just my experience with this could be missing something just happens to be all i can think of.

when i was a service writer at dodge back in 01-03, our diesel tech would do just that, take the fan out, loosen motor mounts, and jack it up. i know cuzhe had me stand on the engine lift till he got the pan out. it was a 10 hour job to do by the book..... took him 1. 5 hours... ..... he loved it when it was warrenty... ... ... ... ... ...
