Oil Pan Removal '88 5.7
How the heck do I remove the oil pan in my 88 1/2 ton 4x4 w/automatic transmission? I've done all the items mentioned in the service manual: remove crossover exhaust pipe; remove transmission convertor housing pan; remove starter; remove strut rods at engine mount; remove oil dipstick and tube.
The oil pan is loose with all bolts removed, but there is not enough clearance between the oil pan and front drive shafts to move the oil pan out. The manuals show you need to raise the engine only for the 7.4 leter engine, not the 5.7.
Any suggestions?
