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.

ya I'm not worried about the pan anyways I have a holley knockoff for the ls swap to go on anyways so that gasket was getting changed. I ordered my gaskets last night, should be in by the end of the week. will be getting at the trans crossmember today hopefully so I can have it ready to redrill

Good deal.

My engine was an LS1 so I didn't have to change anything on it.

only reason for the pan change is because the air ride. believe the pan will hang too low.

I am chasing oil leaks on my 03 Yukon LS. Do you have any good pictures of the LH side of the engine?

sure what exactly are u looking at? I can snap some pics and post em

BigBird05 · 11-12-2021, 09:18 AM

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.

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...?

BigBird05 · 11-13-2021, 09:20 AM

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.

**kev2809** · 11-10-2021, 05:21 PM

little update got the motor cleaned, painted, and resealed for the most part. going to work on getting the headers on, motor mounts, then fix the leaky seal on the trans and they should be ready to mate back up

**kev2809** · 11-13-2021, 02:20 PM

looking more like a motor

BAD1916 · 11-13-2021, 02:55 PM

Looking good!

**kev2809** · 11-13-2021, 03:22 PM

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.

hmm well I ordered my rewire kit a while back but I believe it's universal. so do I just order the gauge temp sender and plug..and crimp the plug to this harness?

edit: I believe I have the right one?

Yes, that is the correct one for gauges.

Here is a picture posted by member Ray Mcavoy.

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.

BigBird05 · 11-14-2021, 07:34 PM

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.

ah ok. i checked my harness and didnt see this connector. i do have my old engine harness, but im getting together another order from rockauto and will throw it in there. im really debating on whether i should pull all the balljoints and tie rods out and replace them. i bought them all new about 11 years ago and they have zero miles, but i bought house brand stuff and a few of the boots are torn from sitting so long (althought i can buy the boots by themselves). its about 250 i could be saving and putting to something else.

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....

**kev2809** · 11-17-2021, 02:18 PM

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.

**kev2809** · 11-27-2021, 04:45 PM

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

BigBird05 · 11-28-2021, 09:50 AM

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

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.

BigBird05 · 11-28-2021, 10:30 AM

If you want an original nut, just send me the size and i'll get one out to you.
