Rusted oil pan.

How hard is it to replace the oil pan? Mine is so rusty I am afraid it will leak soon.

I think you have to raise the engine to remove the oil pan. I'd just sand it down and repaint it.

Check out this post. Rusty oilpans are unfortunately a common problem with the 7.3's

replacing the oilpan is easy, installing the new one without an oil leak, very difficult. get the proper IH insructions and sealer, it's not plain silicone
