    I understand. I live in the DC area, did undergrad in CO, and grew up in AK. Rust is life. BUT, please tell how you deleted all that? Like you have no power steering?

    So drinkin and thinkin and realized my 170k mile starter was old and subjected to an oil leak. Why not put in a new one? You know what makes for an easy starter removal? No oil pan, dipstick tube, brace etc..

    2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

    Pan prepped with gasket, rivets, and new oil cooler cover and gasket. Surface prepped. But wait! The dipstick was touching the header. F*CK. So I bent it. Then the brace/bracket broke. So I bent it another direction. It doesn't touch but the zip tie holding it in place bothers me. Soooo...

    VA just shut everything down until June 10th. God I hope I have enough parts. Bored again and pacing myself. Cleaned up the pickup tube. Not exciting.

    The oil pickup tube just fell out. That seal was doing fudge all to seal. Y'all need to do this if you have high miles. Seal is flat. Old vs new. Old thickness. New thickness.

    I used a razor and scotch brite. This is my first oil pan gasket replacement. Is that surface clean enough for the gasket? How much black rtv, just in the corners?

    4 cans brake clean, wire brush, sponge, and detergent 1.5 hours later. What a mess. It's not perfect but will do. At least I won't catch a disease handling this pan. Before:

    2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

    Got the pan down. Crap all over my face too. Colorful language was used. Gasket was completely failed. What a mess. How, I have no damn idea. Remember 170k miles. Not bad. Crap on the bottom was from when I dropped it. Some sludge in the back there. I'll take the windage try off later. Its...
