I have a customer with 2018 F150 with the plastic old Pan but the coolant lines are rusted out. Can I use this part number to replace mine with the plastic oil Pan? Will they fit ? The original part numbers for the tubes are obsolete but you have a part numbers ending in different letters ?

Just in time for the third one that I am now attempting. The second one started leaking as I started to fill it back up for the first time. I didn't know about the single piece pan was even an option , but at least now I'll be pretty fast at it and it'll be done. I hate to say it but after over 30 years of driving Ford trucks This Is the End. After this is done I'm getting a Toyota Tundra . I never thought I'd do but I have had these trucks in the past 15 years have been nothing but constant headache for me. And I've tried them all the diesel the EcoBoost and I just can't believe the poor engineering that they have actually put in these trucks. I mean they're supposed to get better and here I was worried about all the new electronics but that was never even an issue for me because mechanically they failed before that stuff I was worried about. Everybody I know that has a Toyota they go 200 300 thousand miles on them with no issues consistently in my Fords when they hit 100K 125 I have done major repairs on systems that should never have to be worked on that soon. And it has just happened over and over again

You would have thought a metal perimeter ring with longer bolts as a field upgrade would be a simpler fix. The old small block Chevy had elongated metal installed at each bolt to transfer the clamping surface at each bolt. It's ridiculous when you look at the amount of warping between the bolts. You have been my go to for Ford tech and I do appreciate the fact you specialize in Ford

Another fine video. Not exactly an easily done, on your back DIY project! You would have thought that Ford should have learned a lesson with the '11-'12 w/6.7 diesel that a plastic pan was a bad idea for any pick up. I guess the gas engine guys don't talk to the diesel guys. Oh well, since I no longer have/need my '11 F350 diesel and have a '19 F150 w/3.5 and aluminum pan, no longer a concern. PHEW!!

Looked pretty good to me. The worst bolts were the 2 transmission bolts on the cross member. The threads below where the nuts were are gone. Of course, this is all based on what he had to remove for this job. Probably if something else was shot there might be a lot of rust involved.

They aren't the first...every freaking ounce costs now. I BMW and Mercedes both have plastic pans (and yes, both have had issues as well, just not as many). Reading on this, and discussing with a supplier friend, it appears to be two fold on the issues, improper Assembly (sealant application not correctly done), and warping of the pan. They are now using a gasket ilo applying sealant. I'd personally like to know what the resin is. For this kind of application (heat and durability), I'd be thinking an ABS with Glass Fill, or go real extreme and use a Nylon with LGF (Long Glass Fill). Could get real crazy and use an ASA with glass too...Lots of solutions would work. If they used PBT or PolyPro they were begging for issues.
