While your in there id do oiler cooler line if you have one

Why wouldn’t you do the oil pickup while you’re in there,,,,,?

If one had to change the rear main seal and the pan gasket, how would you go about doing that? I have a 2003 z71. I picture changing the pan gasket first, then drop the trans etc to do the rear gasket/and seal. It seems having the lack of support of the trans while doing the pan gasket could be a challenge. BTW. This would be done on jack stands, Thoughts?

Why do everyone struggle with that last bolt on passenger side 😂 just remove that coil and carry on

What kind of blades do you use?

Thanks for the tip , now I can finally replace my gasket

Thank you for the info

Te felicito es un muy buen video muy educativo

Thanks very helpful

Curious why not replace pick up tube o ring while in there ?

Straight to to point! Great video, other videos they want you to take out the whole door. I like your method better.

just got a low oil pressure light pop up after i replaced my oil pan and gasket. rtv was used everything seems sealed but it showed up after running a little bit.

Do you guys prefer the gasket to ultra gasket maker?

Simple and to the point. The only thing that could make this tutorial any easier is if you shared a direct link to the part for lazy people who can't look anything up on their own.

Where did you got the gasket from

Hermano limpie el carter y el colador y cambie el orrin de el pescador . Pero tenfo baja presion de aciete . La valvula que lleva oor la parte de el filtro esta trancada . Necwuato ayuda

Checking for leaking the new oil filter was already dripping oil

Did list last week on my 02 Suburban 1500. The front diff needed to come down about 6 inches for the pan to get out. It was terribly dirty and was glad I had a solvent tank to clean everything in. Thankfully it looks like the rear main seal was not leaking. Getting the oil pickup tube seal replaced was a bit fiddly as it didn’t want to go in. All back together and no leaks. Took about 5 hours total to do.

HOw critical is "oil Pan Alignment"? My 2000 5.3 silverado has that stamped on it. How do you align the pan? Thanks

Yeah, replace the oil pickup o-ring...WE HEARD ALL OF YOU now shut-e. Does anyone read the comments before spouting off the same shite. And stop bitchin about cameras (frame per second). This guy took the time to film/edit and upload a video that covered the repair and did a great job. Thank you for the video!!!!! I was trying to see if I could do the job without pulling the front axle completely. Looks like with some finesse, I can.

All that work and you didn't replace the oil pump pick up tube O ring...guess it'll be back when there's No oil pressure 😂

Many of you commented that I should have replaced the Oil Pump Pickup Tube O-ring seals. It didn’t occur to me at the time I did the job, but I agree with you. As a matter of good practice, I recommend replacing those O-rings when doing this job. For anyone like me who overlooked this step, I can say the Tahoe is still in service with normal oil pressure. If the pressure drops, I’ll know right away what to fix! Thanks folks!

This video would be better if it wasn’t in 15fps

Should have replaced the o ring on the pickup tube while you were in there.

Great video! Proof that you don't need to take the front diff out completely......did you disconnect any of the electrical connectors on the diff before dropping it down?

VERY. VERY. IMPORTANT. RE-CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO THE PAN OR YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT START!

Yes cringed at not replacing the pick up tube o-ring, #1 reason for pulling the pan on these engines! But very informative video otherwise. 👍🏻

Thanks. I'll be doing this job soon and this helps a lot!

Why would you change the oil pick up tube rubber O ring ? You're already in there and it only takes few mins and couple bucks for part. This is why I work on my own stuff and have own business. This is just common sense, and saves owner down the road.

My gasket came with two holes (rear and front ) with extra silicone to capture two bolts as starter bolts. Another trick is to place two zip ties inside two bolt holes. I actually changed the O ring on the pickup tube and installed a full brace on the Oring clamp utilizing both holes. I'd say the major part of my experience was just cleaning and prepping the parts and fasteners to be reinstalled. Everything else was pretty easy.

Nice content! Are you interested in being our tester(chevy lights)? Leave yor email pls.

Great video. Terrible camera

Love 62 Olds 98s, very good looking cars, the holiday sedan is the hardtop version and is even better looking. Hopefully you can find the 62 big hubcaps that came on the car , they are quite nice hubcaps. I used to ride home from Episcopal school I attended in 63 in the neighbors 62 Olds 98, it was light green, it was really a nice car Always had a soft spot for these

Love the video. It sure cuts through all the BS that some say what needs to be done to replace the oil pan gasket. Before seeing this, I was bemoaning the fact that I had to practically dismantle the front differential, starter, CV joints, etc. Now, it just going to be a better DIY day. Thank you.

Why does the video look so choppy? Can't even tell what you're doing because of it

Figured there wasnt too much to it. Pulling my 60 Super 88 this week and was glad to see this video. Thanks man!

What a pain in the ass. On some of the trail blazers the front axle goes through the oil pan. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I tell ya, removing a starter with that oil pan on is almost as difficult as that rear main seal job you mentioned! Maybe it was just my lack of patience lol. Anyways thanks for the good information, helped a bunch! The truck im working on is lifted, so no fight with the axle, however the pickup tube wont let the pan squeeze out. Im going for the engine hoist I already have out. Seems that extra half inch of lift should let me slide her out..

Instead of riveting you can strip the paper off some bread ties/Twisties, and run it through two adjacent holes and put a couple twists in the wire. Then once you got it in place with 4 corners started, you can undo the ties and pull them out. Have also seen others use zip ties and clip them off after

Do you have to take the transfer case off? I’m about to drop the trans but I do not want to take the transfer case off. I don’t have the lift I’m working out if my drive way. I have a transmisión jack on the transmission and a jack on the transfer case. I was going jack down the trans a bit then the transfer case little by little until I have enough space to work on the rear main seal. Im not planing to remove the trans all the way maybe about 7 inches .. or like I said maybe drop it together with the transfer case. What are your thoughts l

Thank you brother!

Great video. Personally, the only thing I would have done differently while the pan was off would be to put new bearings in it, an oil pump, front timing set and change out the O-ring for the dipstick tube. There is also the oil filter adapter plate on the drivers side of the engine that needs to be replaced. Otherwise these are great vehicles and last a really long time if you take care of them.

I think I am just going to let the oil lubricate the underside of my truck instead of going through all of this to remove the oil pan. This has the be the stupidest design to put the oil pan.

I just wanted to know why my oil pressure was low and gauge was jumpy like garbage.

It’s a good idea to replace the oil pickup tube O ring. They get hard with age & suck air causing low oil pressure.

Thanks, a good video. I can't seem to find this anywhere, what is the torque for the two bolts on the attachment above the oil filter. On my gas 6.0 L Isuzu NPR-HD this is where the oil coolant lines attach. I have the service manual but it does not mention the torque for this.

For those looking for torque specs. Covers are 112 inch pounds or 9.33 ft pounds. As mentioned in video most torque wrenches that register foot pounds do not go below 10. If your using the valve cover set that comes with the new rubber grommets as well as the gasket then just set your torque wrench to 10 ft pounds. You’ll be fine.

This guy needs a laser pointer so he can actually pinpoint certain things that he talking about for people that's never done the job before such as myself I need to do an oil pan gasket replacement on my Z71 2002 Tahoe and that is a very big job and I cannot afford to have someone else do it for me unfortunately, so we need to just RTV gasket everything and save fucked all the bullshit

Do I need to keep the Rivets on a rwd oil pan 5.3?

What the price ranges fixing the oil pan gasket on Yukon XL 1500 4w drive?
