    Is there a good and bad way to get to the oil pan gasket on a 4x4? Seems to me I have to remove the front diff to get the pan out. I really don’t want to have to do that, but is there another way to get it out?

    Truck died while driving

    So my daughter was driving and the truck just died. It cranks but won’t run, I can hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on, but it’s like a loud odd sound, not like a normal hum. when the pumps go bad, do they do this, or are they just dead? Never had a fuel pump go out.
