Edit Never mind I see you answered this, I'm on a very slow cell phone connection for the next 2 weeks, and it's driving me crazy!

Absoultly 100% correct. It won't rust if there is oil on it.However I did clean and paint mine. Jim

Go to NAPA, get a fuel tank repair kit for a metal gas tank part number 7651565 or BK 7651565. Follow the instructions as you would for patching a fuel tank on the bottom of your oil pan.

I did that two years ago for my truck and it's still dry on the bottom of the pan.
Once you are sure that it's fixed, sand and paint the entire rest of the oil pan with a rust treatment like POR-15.

I have used the fuel tank repair products. When these products set up they are nearly hard as steel.
Also can purchase this stuff at O'Reilly and some Walmarts

I came across this site in Feb and one of the first things I read was about the oil pans and the rear diff covers rusting out. I went out and checked mine and the cover and the pan were in bad shape.
I took into the dealer (where I bought the truck new) and they replaced the pan, cover, and the oil dip stick tube(that I didn't ask about) for the $50.00 extended warranty(which runs out on time on May 2nd) I bought when I purchase the truck. So I want to say thanks to all who contributes to this site because you saved me a lot of money and grief from the better half I might add.
Even though I live in Illinois I really don't drive it that much in snowy weather so road salt wasn't the big problem with the rust.
