Oil Pan Gasket

[Jake707]

Has anyone replaced their oil pan gasket? Dealership said mine was leaking and with a quote of $1,400 to replace it thats not covered by my warranty I'll be looking at doing it myself. There must be some long labor hours involved to get a quote that high haha Its the 6.2 4x4 if theres differences.

just had mine done (under a 3rd party) warranty I guess there is a upper & lower pan, both of mine were leaking
it was indeed pricey. oil pan, water pump, oil cooler lines and pinion seal they hit the warranty for $3k

on the 4X4 the front diff has to be lowered at least part way to get the pan out, probably the reason for high labor
I have not done one myself in a long time, but you want to do it right otherwise it will leak again, bolts have to be tightened to torq spec in a pattern
and usually the front needs silicone, alignment has to be just right

Dam. Wish I had your warranty. Mine won’t cover leaking gaskets of any kind after 125k miles which mine has.

Stamped steel oil pan huh? Thought that was a thing of the past on these rigs.

ya warranty's are tricky they generally come in 3 levels, level 1 covers basically nothing, level 2 is usually just power train failure, level 3 covers almost everything but wear items like brake pads, shocks, tires, etc.
it's all in the fine print. this was the first time I had to use mine but I had purchased the "premium"
mileage doesn't matter on mine as long as I am within the covered mileage/time

I think that is just the lower pan

this is the "whole" pan

The oil filter housing and oil cooler line pickups are part of the oil pan not the block?

Just did that on my 15 while getting to the oil pump solenoid. But yes, it is labor intensive, to a point. Could easily just be a weekend job if your mechanically inclined. Drop the front differential and you'll gain access to everything from the bottom side Gaskets are cheap, but the labor and time is expensive
