Hey folks.
This is an update on the oi pan change on my 2001 Jeep with a 4.7, 4wd auto.
Completed the job yesterday. I followed the procedure per Alldata and removed from the bottom.
I jacked the Jeep up about 24" and blocked the body up and let the front axle droop. The y pipe was removed along with the starter which I had the local starter guy rebuild.
The bolts on the y pipe were frozen so I just torched them off and as the nuts on the top are pretty much inaccessible I welded small pieces of sheet metal on the new nuts to aid assembly.
All in all a messy job and if I had it to do over it would have been quicker and easier to just pull the motor to change the pan.
Comments welcomed,
Brad
