Wow down to earth guy like working with a friend no big words no over the top drama for most part no editing out the oopps parts...well done sir had to subscribe
Totally agree, too many times you watch one of these videos, they’re telling you their life story and including a lot of stupid things that have nothing to do with fixing the problem. Thanks man 👍🏻
I moved to the south from NYC . People like this dude is common down here. Taking his time to help ppl out by recording this video, different camera angles and lighting... All for no charge. They'll turn down money but will gladly accept a case of beer or bottle of their favorite booze.
Thank you for this video, looks like a painful process, appreciate you taking the time to film it as well. Not sure if I want to send it out or slowly chip away at it and fix it myself. Your video made it look more possible. Might have at it.
Good job, thanks for your valuable time. I have to change out the gasket on my 2001 Dodge Ram 3.9L. The gasket appears to be different but I know the dos & don'ts. Hats off, thanks.
Good instructor video real good content good camera work I have a 2002 Dodge Ram also 4.7engine need to replace rear seal and oil pan gasket you made it look very doable... Thanks keep up the good work....
So you don't have to jack the engine up? Like every other video says. I'm about to pull the pan on my 06 ram 1500 5.7. Any info would be highly appreciated.
awesome video and this is how videos should be done. not looking forward to doing the job seeing the oil pressure sending switch was not my issue. starting to think the oil pick up tube maybe partial clogged or my oil pump is starting to go so shes sitting waiting on parts only 159k miles on my 02 ram 1500 4.7l
This takes me back to the first one I replaced for the exact reason. I was having oil pressure issues , and adding extra oil to the truck helped get me home. After I pulled the oil pan off it was full of gunked up oil and debris etc. The trucks oil changes had been neglected from the previous owner . I cleaned the pan , removed the pick up tube and cleaned it ( screen clogged ) , and cleaned the lower portion of the engine. After that I had zero issues with oil pressure. But anyways that was my first experience with the 2002 ram 1500 oil pan and , I discovered the hard way how to remove it . Thank you for the feedback.
That is what I am dealing with now, do not have the clearance to move the pan past the trans like was done in this video. Think I will have to loosen the motor mounts & raise it to make clearance.
If or when you have to change the gasket again? Try removing the Oil Fill Cap While Draining It. It Should make removing the gasket a whole lot easier.
Buddy just now got finished the job is a piece of cake like you said the only hassle is that damn adhesive I don’t know what they use but that stuff ain’t no punk by a damn shot but once again thanks for the video you saved me cashmoney
I just dropped pan down 1/2 inch. And with 2 big tubes of silly cone. Hooped it all way round was tricky. But used my hand. 🤚 with most. Lol but I bolted it back up. And wiped all the excess off. So nobody sees and freeks out. . Lol. But trick is. To let it dry for few days. You don’t want the gobs. Of silly cone to get mixed in oil. 😮
I agree on the cure time , I always wait atleast 24 hours. I resealed another truck by using rtv but taking the gasket off and cleaning it first. It never leaked a drop. The ultra black rtv has never let me down , but all the others have at some point. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Question: On my truck I had a hard time getting one end of the aluminum "Dust Structural Cover" lowered down past the passenger side end-mount for the cross-member. Also couldn't get pan out without slipping it to the side and removing the pump suction line bolts. Had to take that line, the gasket, and pan out all at once, together. One would think that my engine is too low, a motor mount issue perhaps. What are your thoughts?
I have done several of these ram oil pan gaskets , and I swear they must use a super adhesive when assembling these engines. Thanks as always for watching.
@@s33therfan oh ok. And thank you for the amazing video. I was watching another ftom like a shop but I noticed they use tools and stuff I can't buy and I thought there could be a video that would do the same job with no many tools and I found yours. Thank you again.
If the oil pan gasket is good , then I would be thinking a rear main seal. Usually not worth fixing unless a bad leak or removing the engine or transmission. Thank you for the feedback.
@Francisco Lopez hi, I have to replace piston # 4. I have 4 wheel drive, and I'm at the point of taking out the front diff screws. There are two that have a nut on the end, and when I tried to take the screw out of the very top holes of the diff, the head hits the side of the oil pan, and there's not even enough room, basically, to take the screws out on top. The other three came out fine. I also had to torch all of them ( I have a 2005 ram 1500)
