Try to put it in 5th gear. If it's a 4 speed, 5th won't be there....

It is a 5 speed though

Oil pan gasket is pretty straight forward and easy to get at with the 300, should be no problem, might wanna change the rear main while you're at it though

Congrats on the new truck, I'd like one like it but got enough vehicles
