Mine was the same way. I got lucky, I cleaned it all up and re-tightened the pan bolts and it quit leaking. Mine had some modifications done to it before I got it and I wonder if they forgot to go around and double check the bolts. I don't think a few weeks is out of the question for a timeline unless you have trouble getting something you need. Keep us posted on your progress. LockDoc

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
only reason for the pan change is because the air ride. believe the pan will hang too low.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
I am chasing oil leaks on my 03 Yukon LS. Do you have any good pictures of the LH side of the engine?

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
I am leaking a lot of oil. Are there any sensors or anything else on the LH side where it could be coming from. I already replaced them crank sensor seal.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
the only sensor on that side is the coolant sensor for the ecm. is your leak coming from the top? only thing I can think of is valve cover or oil pan...?

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Thanks I know the vale covers are leaking and the rear main seal too. I am just trying to get all of the parts lined up so I only have to tear it down once.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
thanks my drill bit came in about 30 minutes ago so I drilled and tapped the head....this made me nervous lol
I'm not sure if the stock 67 sender will work though. when I get to the cluster, I will be modding it like ls1nova did with the s10 speedo. I will be adding a clock and camaro tach, and delete the circuit board and make a harness. so not sure if the idiot gauge temp sender is used or the 5 hole cluster temp sender. I believe they are 2 different ones?

Yes, they are different. First picture is for gauges and second picture is for light. LockDoc

Yes, that is the correct one for gauges. Here is a picture posted by member Ray Mcavoy. LockDoc

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
well, was getting ready to mate to the trans and figured I would reseal the output shaft and the slip yoke tube inside since there was trans oil on the u joint when I pulled it from the donor. the tube I can't get local so had to order it off Amazon and won't be in until the week sometime. I did get the shaft seal in...pain in the ass.
if you guys have a rear main seal alignment donut, it fits perfectly over the rubber so you can evenly tap the seal in.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
The terminal should fit the sender ok, but you will need the right connector for a gauge. The connectors look the same with the exception of the gauge connector has a half moon cutout to slide over the pin on the sender. I believe the correct connector is white, but if you don't care what color it is I think I have a black one.

waiting on my slip yoke seal for the trans, so in the meantime i will clean up and paint the front suspension stuff. plan is once i get the motor and trans in, get the front suspension back together....i will start on the rear stuff. need to look into what tank and pump combo i will use, but im thinking the 87 blazer tank setup i seen some people use. but once thats in, i can work on the fuel lines. such a long to do list before i can even try to get this cranked up and move under its own power....

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
thanks locdoc. I ordered one with rockauto.
getting a little ahead of myself but I ordered up the the fuel tank, sending unit, and in tank pump. I know most blazer tank swaps are done with the 31 gallon, but I went with the 25 gallon setup. hoping it's a more shallow tank for ground clearance.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
working on getting the suspension cleaned up and painted. I was trying to get the pitman arm off the crosslink bar without my balljoint popper tool and I might have damaged the nut to thread back on. so I tried running the number casted on and it's coming up as 67-8 truck manual gearbox arm.
I have a power steering box, so should I swap this pitman arm out for a 72 power steering pitman arm? I don't believe I ever changed this arm but everything seemed to line up. casting # is 3952084A

Why don't you just run a thread chaser on it?

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
I'm going to buy a new castle nut today and see if the threads are OK. if I can use it and the castle nut doesn't work, I will fix the threads. I just noticed after looking up the part number that it's listed for manual steering....im just not sure if I should use it or grab one for power steering. I don't even know what the differences would be.
