Is it possible to change the oil pan by jacking up the motor and blocking the mounts and pulling the turbo, or do you have to pull the cab.

 

Check out YouTube, Diesel Tech Ron, has a video on it. You can jack up the motor and R&R the oil pan.

 

The engine only needs to be jacked up about an inch or so. Pan removal is done by sliding it rearward once all the fasteners are removed, and then reaching inside to unbolt the oil pickup tube once there is sufficient access. The pan with the pickup tube unbolted can then be slid the rest of the way out. Cab or turbo removal is completely unnecessary.

 

thanks for the prompt reply's pan is showing some rust spots , want to stay ahead a possible leak.

 

Good info, mine has more than just a few rust spots
