Good morning all. Forgot to set my alarm last night, if the baby had not started crying at 4:30 I would probably still be in bed.

Aaron, time to pull the motor. Let us know when...

Morning all!

Aaron that sucks! I had that happen to me years ago on my fathers old dodge truck when I was out plowing. I backed out of a driveway and was like @",?.'f!!!!!!!!!!. I had to keep adding oil all the way to he shop so I could get it replaced.

Why not replace the pan instead of the epoxy, will it last?

Because on these 7.3 engines, the motor has to come out to replace the pan

Good morning everyone.

Sorry to hear about that Aaron.
If there was an upside to a leaky FMS I suppose it's that my oil pan will never rust out. :shrug

I leave in 20 minutes. Now the trick is to not get dragged into anything before I walk out the door.
