This is definitely a show it job. Not a talk through, but I appreciate the attempt.
Great Video: Just finished removing the oil pan from my 2000 Dodge Durango. Since I have everything apart I am going to replace the starter. For other viewers just like the video be careful removing the screws from u-joint flange and the rack and pinion screws and use plenty of penetrant. Great Job!!!!!
Thank you!!! I had to do my oil pan on my 05 Dakota and I don't think I would have had the confidence to do it without this video. It went in without a hitch, thanks to you.
glad it helped
Wow, what a Pain in the ass. Remember the old days when an oil pan dropped straight out without having to take half the vehicle apart?
Thank you Charles! Excellent tutorial! At first it looked more intimidating than it really was but your description was spot on. Just did my 2000 Durango and like you said, take your time, one step at a time and I didn't try to do it in one day. Worked like a charm and all went well.
Thanks Again...Appreciated...John
Glad it helped you out.
about to tackle on my oil pump and removing the oil pan just got a bit easier thanks to you, i appreciate it !
Glad it helped you out
foll I wed instructions and pan was in hand in no time. nk special tools in my drive. patience and plamning arw key. Also kf you need to get the bolts back far enough to drop r&p I had to bend the tabs to fit through the opening. great video. thanks
This is by far best video I've seen for this job, bout to do 01 dakota 4×4 pan and think this definitely makes the most sense. Thanks for posting
Glad it helped
I appreciate your video and it scared me at first lots of work just to replace the trans pan. fortunately for me my 2002 dodge durango 4.7 4WD transmission oil pan comes straight down and out pretty easy. so I was pretty happy about that. Thumbs up!
glad it helped
You have been a fountain of good information, thanks for the video. Kudos to you for doing this without a lift, I don't think I would work on vehicles if I didn't have a lift.
Glad it was helpful. Yeah, a lift is on my list... not sure when that's going to happen, but it makes many jobs a lot easier
This process works for a 2002 3.9L 4x4 Dakota as well. Didn't have to take off axle or tires which was nice. Took 8 hours the first time, less than 2.5 hours the second time. I did have to remove the starter and inspection cover since I didn't remove the front axle. If you remove the front axle, you don't have to mess with the starter or inspection cover. Still easier than my older camaro sadly.
Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you for your time and video of doing this. Very helpful indeed. Now I will know how to do mine when the time comes to do it, since it just started leaking
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for your time and the video. Very good information. Just exactly what I needed.
Glad it helped
Thanks for your time!!! I appreciate this knowledge so much :D
thanks for your video Charles. It helped me out tons!
Glad it helped.
Thank you for all those tips ,what a knowledge God bless you.
Glad it helped
Thanku God bless you
this is awesome. thank you so much.
Glad it could help.
Just getting done getting oil pan in for 5.2 V8 on Dakota. Took over 10 hours... Had to take off starter, drop axle, drop sway bar, and remove 2 engine support brackets. I've done multiple oil pans, this is by far the most extra and unnecessary work to do a simple oil pan replacement.
I think the only one I know of that's probably more involved is the Ford Diesels such as excursion where they lift the cab off of the frame because it's less work...
Mm the 5.3L Tahoe's is almost the same process, lower the front diff and steering rack and remove the sway bar
Will this be the same as a 2001 dodge dakota sport?
im about to do the same thing on my dakota slt 2003 4.7 liter very informative thanks a million times :)
Hey Steve, it’s been a minute but how did the job go?
@@kevinbrink7035 It was nasty job but it worth it when you have to save money :)
@@Evilslayer73 I hear ya. That’s my next project. Truck suddenly shows low-zero oil pressure and I’m assuming it’s sludge and gunk that has the intake tube blocked. Only one way to find out, the hard way lol
@@kevinbrink7035 flush your oil with an oil flusher before it gonna help a lot ! clean you pan very well remove the magnets if you have ones clean throughly preparation is the key for a no leak after repair! now i get rid of the truck ..transmission quit just before the pandemic occur now im rolling with a little Kia Rondo 2015 :) !
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks for this video, I couldn't figure out why my pan wouldn't drop. Turns out the pan "glued" itself to the gasket.
Glad it helped
Out of all the dam things ALWAYS REPLACE THE DANG O RING .45 CENTS EACH
it's a sxt also really clean.
Great video thanks I'm imstalin a rebuilt engine thenold one had bunch nasty gunk do you think I should replace that pipe inside and should I put any special oil since engine is new thanks
If engine is new you should use oil which is specifically made for breaking in engine... Amsoil and others make oil specifically for the break in period.
Either clean the pipe or replace it.
I will be changing the oil pan on my 2004 Durango 5.7L SLT. Just curious....why did you replace the windage tray? Do you think I should I change it since I have it out? Does the windage tray come with the gasket already on it?
Parts were provided for me on this job... don't necessarily have to replace it... The oil pan was the issue...
hello Charles, I'm working on a 2002 Durango 4.7lt. it's making a knocking noise. I watched your video and have the oil pan,pickup tube,and windage tray removed. I've inspected the bearings, I found play in rods 1,2 and 7,8.I bought new std rod bearings, and gasket kit. I am changing rod bearings with the engine in the vehicle. My concerns are plastigaging and torque specs and the success rate of a repair done in this manner. This is my first time doing this any advice on this?
not sure what you mean by "found play".... what you'll probably have a tougher time telling is what kind of shape your wrist pins are in.. I don't know the torque specs off the top of my head but just google and you'll be able to find the torque sequence and specs for tightening the rod caps. As for the plastigauge.... Unless you're a machine shop ... that's how you'll be checking the clearance... done it many times.... if you're within clearance you should be fine. Without pulling the motor out and taking it to a machine shop to get it checked plastigauge is the way to go.
If you've already got the parts then plastigauge it and if it clearances out okay, run it... If you still have another issue you'll be able to hear it... it's kind of a balance between 1. spending a lot of money to pull the motor and either replace it or send it out to a machine shop to have it gone through or 2. Replacing the bearings (if the crank looks good... I'm assuming you're crank hasn't been gouged/worn due to the bearings) ... a lot less money and very possible could work out fine for you.
Ths alot..!!
Would this be about the same process as a 2000 Dakota 4.7L 4x4? I've looked all around and can't seem to find much on it.
Not sure if the process is exactly the same for the Dakota 4.7... I would expect it to be similiar.
@@CharlesAndCars OK thanks. Going to give it a shot. Everything under my Dakota looks pretty similar.
I dont have an engine hoist how much do I have to lift the engine if I have to remove the pan?
You don't have to lift the engine... lower the front axle and unbolt the rack and pinion from the frame. This will give you the clearance you need to get the pan out.
Great video. 👍🏼👍🏼.
That is a lot of work for an oil pan IMO.
Hate that Chrysler designs it this way.
Thanks 👍
My dad had a Mercury Marquis that had an oil pan that rusted out and the mechanic had to drop the front axel on that too apparently. Does seem like a stupid design IMO
it's not a 4x4 I have plastic pieces in theoil panisthere any other way of getting them out rather than removing the pan?
Plastic pieces? From what?
Wish i had the 4×4... mine has the frame cross member 1 inch below the pan.. i think im going to torch a hole in the pan rather than lift engine
MINE IS THE SAME ! Is there a video showing 2 wheel drive?
could you replace the rear main seal by only removing the oil pan? thank you
I'm not sure if that''s a two piece seal on that engine or not I believe it is. If so, you can get a seal puller, drop the main cap and use the puller to pull the upper half of the seal out (You may be able to just push the upper half of the seal out without a seal puller as well)... Then slide the new one in... I haven't done it in that way, but I know it's been done many many times... make sure you seal the seams on the two piece seal. If you google ... "replace 2 piece rear main seal without dropping crank" you'll find tons of examples...
thanks man i really appreciate it.
21 foot pounds for the pick up tube bolts for those who's wrenches aren't in inches
Think you I think I'm going to have to pull the front axle out to get the pan out last thing to do I did everything in your video
This video help in alot of ways appreciate it
the timing chain tensioners came apart I boughtt it thing it was only the chain noise I heard. I ran good but very very noisey.
I'm guessing that's the plastic that your seeing coming out of the oil pan.... from the guides?.... I would drop the pan and make sure it's cleaned out... good chance that those pieces of plastic got sucked up to the screen on the oil pickup...
How to I remove my axle? I can’t get mine off, I don’t wanna remove my hubs and stuff
CV Axle? czcams.com/video/RFfNKZTqSyE/video.html
Charles And Cars Yeah, Thanks man. Only person I found with anything on dodges.
Charles And Cars I have a 2003 Dodge Durango 4x4
I’m replacing a oil pump
What about for a 2wd version of the ram?
I believe you can drop the pan on the 2wd without having to lift the motor. May have to rotate the crank some to reposition connecting rods to get clearance for over the framerail, but I haven't had to do that particular version.
I have an 04 2wd dakota with a 3.7l... used hoist to lift engine up to firewall an cant get the pan out! PIA!!! Nothing is going well on this...
it is the same for a 2003 dodge durango 5.9 AWD
I have 2009. Even after you get the rack, diff and axles out of the way, you then have to take off the manifold,.undo the engine mounts and jack up the motor to get the transmission to motor bracket out.
The steering jack doesn't come out until you pull a torsion bar off either. They never made it easy to clean your oil pick up ha ha. I don't know why they never fitted a port in the pan.
That's alot of work...RETIRED LARRY
what size is the nut on the steering rack? 24mm?
I don't remember exactly.... but I think it may 23 or 28
24mm 200ft/lbs torque spec
Richard Cowtails do u have to jack up the motor on a 4.7 2003 durango to remove the oil pan I have timing chain tensioner pieces in it.
Aj Vogliardo no... you have to lower the front differential and pull loose the steering rack though. its a pain in the ass!!!!!
Richard Cowtails its not a 4x4 so how do I remove the frt suspenssion?
Will this work on a 2005
Not sure if it is the same for a 2005. Generation changed in 2004
why replace the windage tray?
The new pan came with a new windage tray. If it didn't you could re-use the old one.
Found out gasket was part of windage tray & was damaged removing oil pan as it was stuck to the oil pan. Just baught new windage tray with gasket as one unit
What a shitty design. That's a lot of shit just for an oil pan gasket!
I dont really like this
