Is it possible to remove the oil pan on my 6.9 without pulling the engine? I have low oil pressure and I think the pickup tube may be damaged as the bottom of the pan has a pretty good dent in it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I swore I'd NEVER R&R an oil pan w/o pulling the engine ever again.
In addition to what is posted above, you need to fabricate a wrench to remove the oil pump bolts and allow it to fall into the pan. ( Remember the line, " Installation is the reverse of Removal"?--you have to get the oil pump out of the bottom of the pan, and bolt it to the block--think about how is going to work----I found that I needed an extra joiut in my forearm the pivots 90 degrees from the wrist joint!!)
I would also advise you to wear a bump cap of some sort. I can't tell you how many times I hit my head on various things as I manuvered around under the truck.
