- How to install windage tray witg pick-up tube and oil pan.
Tools needed to complete job
13mm & 10mm socket , ratchet with extensions & torque wrench . for gasket suface cleaning i used scraper, acetone, lint-free cloth, 120 grit sand paper, gasket silicone ( optional ) torque specs: windage tray and pick-up tube bolts down together @ 20 ft. lbs. Pick-up tube to oil pump is 20 ft. lbs. And oil pan 11 ft. lbs NOTE: when torquing down oil pan, start @ the center and work you're way out in a cris-cross pattern.
Thank you very much for the torque specs, and the sequence. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was a huge help watching this thank you so much
Nice job Isaac .............love ya style man
Gracias bro. Es lo que estaba buscando. Ten un buen dia!!
Thanks bro. Just saved me $300 . I wasnt sure if I could do it myself. They wanted $110 parts $230 labor..got the part for $50. Pretty basic fix.
Glad this video helps you out. Thanks for watching!
$230 labor for a one hour job seems to be most mechanics rates.
Great video
Thank you Cody
Thank you !!!!
I noticed you removed the cross member brace ..was this for clearance for removal of oil pan? Or will it clear without removal or anything and or jacking engine up? I know you are working on multiple issues in this video
Thank you
Yeah honestly I think I had to remove for better access. But l also installed a new manga y-pipe so it had to be removed anyways. If I remember correctly I think you can remove the oil pan without removing the cross member . I just know on a 4x2 model you don't have to lift the engine. If it does being in your way... its only 4 bolts and comes out pretty easy
Do you have to do timing chain. when you change the oil pump.I had low pressure with a leak and it was making a grinding sound.on my 99 dodge truck.thanks and very good work
soda pop Jones , hi ! Yes unfortunately you do on the 4.7 motors. Low oil pressure is not always good though. Other factors can be clogged pick up screen . i had at least a cup of sludge at the bottom of my oil pan. Oil gets trap there cuase it dosent drain all when doing oil change. I was having low oil pressure problem too, but was due too the rpms was at 500. Changed; oil pump, Oil pressure, tps , map , iac sensors no luck. Changed o2 sensors no luck. It was the injectors lol. But you sound like have a different problem. If you here those sounds then might be an oil issue... If haven't taking apart check oil pressure with a mechanical gauge right where the oil pressure sending unit is and see what readings you get. If low or none , oil pump or pick-up tube is clogged. Got good oil pressure, then it might be a mechanical issues. As for the timing chain you're asking about, the oil pump sits directly behind the crankshaft timing sprocket, so it has to be removed, make sure you set your #1 at TDC. Good luck
Im in the process of changing my oil pan,becuz i strip the drain plug screw. do you recommend replacing the wonder tray also or any other parts too?
Sokthea Seng , well they are reusable. You can use the same one but there are things to look for in order to reuse. 1st you have to take off the windage pan without harming the mating surface, like tear in gasket or bending it to much. Both with cuase leaking problems. 2nd consider the age of the old one thats on now. You'll have to look for cracks and "hard" spots. Its not a bad idea to replace anyways. If you can wait, get it online and it'll be cheaper. Other then that only other thing you can do is clean the pick-up tube/screen. Hooe this helps 😀
Yes you help out alot. Yea when i was removing my oil pan it was a little bit stuck, i didn't know the wonder tray gasket was holding it back. Yea i will replace a new one also. Didnt know the gasket is with the tray. Haven't remove that it. Thanks for your help!!
At 2:04 the cover that needs to be removed to loosen the final two bolts what is the torque spec for those, please let me know i need to change my gasket very soon
SIERRA 02 its called oil pan-to-transmission brace and its an optional part that not all 4.7 have. Ive search online and looked over my haynes repair manual and did not fine anything about torque specs. Weird i know. But you can use a torque bar when removing it. Set it to 50 lbs. of torque, and it clicks before breaking lose then set it higher. But Im sure its gotta be more then 50 lbs. of torque. Kinda like reverse engineering as far as finding out what torque to set them bolts.
Issac Moreno thanks alot, im about to take a long road trip and with my gasket leaking a little right now i want to take care of it before i leave
SIERRA 02 that'll be a good idea. Short trips close to home ain't so bad but a road trip will not be good if you lose too much oil. Good luck buddy!
Issac Moreno thx man
Hey did u put silicone before the tray also or was it just on the oil pan?
I put a thin layer in the grooves on both sides. Do not over do it because you don't want to much excess going towards the inside of oil bay. Don't worry about applying on block or pan. But you'll be ok without silicon too. Just don't over torque it either. And follow tightening sequence start from The Middle & work your way out alternating sides.
2003 4x2 the motor indeed must be lifted. I'm replacing an oil pan right now.
Dang what a bummer. I'm my 02 wasn't like that. Good luck or have fun lol.
Thanks for commenting!
Just so everyone know there is only 18 bolts, not 19! He jumped when counting the bolts from 10 to 12
Yeah I'm dyslexic sometimes, thanks for pointing that out Justin bieber lmao 😜 j/k
What year is your truck and im assuming its not 4WD
SIERRA 02 no it wasn't and oil pan was not a problem to drop without lifting the motor
SIERRA 02 its a 2002 slt ram 2×4 quad cab
Did it leak with the silicone? Thanks
antonio ledesma not at all. But its design not to with the rubber gasket. Just put a thin layer if you do and you'll be fine, realy thin layer
@@im234life Question. Did you put a thin layer of silicone on both sides of the gasket? Or just where the oil pan and gasket meet?
@@joeram92 I put a very thin layer on the inside of the track that runs around the entire oil pan gasket. Both side. It's not needed though. I just my piece of mine. Very thin is the key word
Did you have to raise the engine to pull the pan?
Not on a 2x4 4.7 models but yes on the 4x4 4.7 models
No for the 4x4 undo the brackets for front diff, there are 3 and then drop the rack and pinion, only 2 bolts and then you can clear the oil pan from there. Super easy and doesn’t require all that shit the manual says to do .
@@morganmericle193bro just saved my life
Is this on a 4wd ram? Is it hard to remove?
No this is a 4X2 . On this model it was very easy . Not sure of the 4X4 models
@@im234life did you have to lift the motor to clear the oil pickup?
@@chrisruiz1065 nope , not at all.
@@im234life Thanks for pointing that out, was hoping we didn't have to lift the engine. And thanks for posting.
This does not work on a 2004 2wd dodge dakota. I watched the video thought it looked fairly easy ( and I am a motorcycle mechanic instructor by trade) 4 hpours later and much frustration tomorrow I am removing the engine mounts and lifting the engine
I didnt see you put oil
pan in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Durango oil pan is not coming out easy!
Well I'm sure the engine bay is different. This is for an 3rd gen ram (02-05) . While the engine may be the same, the process may be different. I have an 04 Durango but I haven't taken the oil pan out. I'm sorry you're having trouble but it may sound like you might have to lift the engine?
Some people should just watch videos, not make them
Thanks for the torque specs my man. Doing this job this weekend on my ram 4.7.
Btw…. Do You live next to a aviary? 😂
