Oil Pan gasket

Ok, put on your thinking caps. On my 82 4 wheel 3/4. The oil pan is leaking at about every place it can. With the 4 wheels that have the smaller crossmember. Do I have to jack up the engine to drop the pan, or will it come right out? Everybody tells me that it will come right down, and it looks like it will, but one person tells me that I will have to jack the engine up. Anybody know from experience?

Re: Oil Pan gasket

84. The pan will fall out on ya if your not careful, LOL. You can change the pan on your 4WD without any problems at all. Thats one of the nice things about 4WD, you have all the room in the world underneath the engine. jim

The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.

Re: Oil Pan gasket

Thanks. I wouldn't think that there would be any difference between the 82 and 84. So it sounds like it is going to be an easy job.

What James said. Changed the one on my 85 K20, relatively simple, no jacking anything up involved.
