You should be able to put the dip stick tube in after the pans on. And make sure you index the dip stick tube adapter as same as the old one and use a little silicone around the adapter to make sure it seals

If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet
I got an email today telling me my cargo trailer is ready in Georgia. Of course it is! Now that I need to down the truck for a week! There's no way I can fix the truck right in time for me to drive to Georgia next week, so I'm going to habba-dabba the leak for the trip using...
^^^that crap^^^
I've never used it personally, however my buddy the d0zer used it on the gas tank of a very leaky Ford E-series van and not only did it work, it sealed the gas tank for two years until it started leaking again in a different spot. And to top that, when he applied the putty the tank was soaked with gasoline and currently leaking.
When I take my starter out the leak is very accessible, so I'll just remove the starter, clean all the surfaces really well, then glob this shite on the oil pan seam. Should get me to Georgia and back anyways...

Mechanic in a tube. Use as directed.
I've seen windshield urethan used before. Don't poke around in there to much cause I've put holes in ones before scraping off the scabs.

A guy down the road from me cut the cross member out with a torch to do the oil pan gasket, no lie.
Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work

It makes a huge difference. Mine is 2wd. I was under there taking that into consideration yesterday and both I-beams are mounted to the same massive crossmember. I would never cut that much out of the truck and try to weld it back in place.

It was also a 2wd. The guy cutting it out then lost interest in the project, a friend of mine ended up getting it for next to nothing. He fixed the pan, welded the cross member back in and put the pig to work

Georgia is the trailer manufacturing capital. I bought a SGAC trailer and it cost $1540 to get it to Will William's trailer in Maine. Definitely saving a few bucks taking a ride to tow back yourself

Fabio I can relate to your oil pan woes as you know prior to TF 15; albeit on a 5.9 Cummins that rotted through. There's not enough room to get it out with just jacking the engine? What if you could remove some top components to give you a bit more clearence to the cowling? Lifting the cab sounds like a huge PITA.

Yes it is a pain Pete and I must reiterate, I just need to repair the gasket. As far as I can tell right now, the pan itself is OK. I'll find out for certain when I down the truck, but it looks like the pan is OK. Funny thing is, I was driving the truck yesterday and the leak seems to have nearly diminished. I don't know what's up with that but I'll find out I'm sure. Removing some of the top components is necessary, yes. I'll have to drain the antifreeze and disconnect the coolant lines as well as remove the intercooler piping. Disconnect engine mounts, disconnect cab mounts, and up they'll go.

Owning a four wheel drive version of your truck yanking the motor is the only option with 4wd. Good luck with replacing that gasket. I am not local to you, couple hours away, but could provide access to my shop if you find out yanking the motor makes it easier. I myself would enjoy the learning experience of wrenching on this motor.
