Does anybody have a write up or any good suggestion on how to replace the oil pan on a 2wd SS?

Thanx for any info.

Drop the cross member...drop the pan

I didn't really look to good at the cross member but is it a p.i.a to remove? I'll be doing on my friends lift..

you forget to mention to swing the steering rack

As jp mentioned you need clearance at the rack. If you drop just the passenger side there's enough room for the replacement. You need a serious torque wrench though, as the main crossmember bolts need to go to 177#. It's a good time to check bearings and replace rod bolts, while you're looking at them. Good Luck.

Also, the AC compressor bolts to the pan, so those bolts have to be removed, though the compressor itself can remain in place. If you're going to the C6 pan, the pressed plug in the block will have to be removed for the new dipstick location.

I DO I DO!! Thanks to Truckshop and his skilled and trained staff!! Awesome work. Was real simple though. Had a couple issues so I brought it in to get repaired instead of "shadetreeing" it.

Moroso pan FTW!

How much harder is it to do on a AWD?

 

[poisonx]

A lot more work for awd. Suspension, brakes,pull axles out, remove front diff and carrier housing

Sounds like cake...........

If you're putting a stock oil pan back on you should get the pcm oil pick up tube relocation kit. Your rod bearings will thank you.
