Mine is going in the shop Monday for a pass side LCA/ball joint assembly and half shaft. Expecting to pay around $500. I'm getting to old and sore to lay under it to do this safely on my own.

Any suggestions on an easy way to clean the oil drain holes without using a bunch of solvent and having to drain the oil pan again? I have the valve covers off and want to make sure the drain holes are clear before putting the covers back on. There seemed to be a bit more oil than I would have expected to see.

*RH Valve cover and gasket replacement along with a new engine oil fill tube, since somebody thought the entire fill tube gets pulled out instead of just the fill cap. It’s not worth having friends try to “help”. Even smart people occasionally do dumb costly $h!t.

Oops. That’s why I don’t let anybody touch my trucks.

You could try some long pipe cleaners. I've read some guys use them to clean the oiling holes in pushrods.
