take the pan all the way off, remove the oil pickup tube, remove the windage tray and fish the lifter out. You need a new oring for the oil pickup tube. Put a small bead of silicone around the pickup tube oring on the side opposite the oil pump when reinstalling it.

how do i get the pan out of the truck, there just isnt enough room ro get the pan out with the oil pickup there.
remove/unbolt the crossmember and it will come right out.

really, it seems to hit the trans housing and i worried about damaging somthing, i did pull the crossmember but i really dont want to break something else, its a 4x4 if that makes a difference. is there a certain way to move the pan so i can get it out.
It should drop straight down. You did remove the two bolts at the bottom of the transmission that holds it to the pan, right?

o yeah i took those two bolts out, i missed them at first but the pan still hits the front drive axel for the 4wd.
Can't you remove/unbolt the front diff?

its not that easy, there are all kinds of wires and bolts holding it on there. i just need to know if i can get the pan over that axel so i can get the pan out.
the front diff can be removed in about 15 min. not hard at all.Originally Posted by 99silveradodude
