Oil pan removal
My 1999 F-250 5.4 is leaking oil and i was going to try and replace the oil pan gasket. I read in the Haynes manual that i have to raise the engine. I was wondering if i really had to do this. If i do is there a new pan i can get that i wont have to raise the engine again. Thanks for any help you can give me

Unless you cut the crossmember below it, then yes, you have to lift the engine. If it helps any, for the 7.3 you pretty much have to completely pull the engine out... Are you sure it's coming from the block/pan junction, and not the dipstick area? On the 7.3s, the dipstick can get to leaking pretty good.

Dealership said you need to lift the engine, don't think it technically has to be pulled but it does need to be lifted a bit.
