We need more information about your truck and which pan you are attempting to save...

I have a 2000 f350 7.3. It was a plow truck up here in MN for 10 years before I bought it and last summer the pan really started to leak.

There is a guy that sells a fiberglass kit to cover the pan.
I think I would have to spring for new/used pan and pull the engine and replace.

IMHO, if the pan is leaking oil due to rust its time for a new one. Still not sure if you are talking oil or tranny but either way, you need a new one.

Personally I would remove the engine and replace the pan.

The proper way to do it is pull the motor and replace it but that could open up a mess of problems if not done carefully.

the pan saver kit would be a decent band aid for a little while.

IMO pull the motor. its more fun that way

I'm talking about the oil pan. The tranny is fine. I'm looking at pricing for both but I just wanted to know where I could get a pansaver kit so I can get a time and price quote.
