Replacing All Gaskets and seals
I received an estimated quote of $2000 plus parts to replace all the seals and gaskets on my 95 F-250 PSD motor. I am hoping to fix a leak from the main seal - front and back, and will have the rusted oil pan replaced. Is this estimate about right??? Or too much? Is it worth doing, or should I accept the leaks until I really need to replace the oil pan?

They said all gaskets and seals. But I did not have them spell it out on paper. The oil pan is flaking off but not rusted through yet. POR-15 may save it but I would rather just replace it. Definitely not a DIY job. No time, or all the tools it would take to do it. Wish I could!

I would be reluctant to have the cylinder heads removed and the gaskets replaced, unless there is a problem that requires it. If the heads are removed you might want to consider sending them out to a machine shop and have them checked.
