i found a guy 40 miles from home who is only gonna charge me $350 labor to replace my oil pan on my 1994 3.0 ranger 4x4. truck is rusted to heck but i cant afford a new truck.

all mechanics around here want $500-$600+

is it a good idea to have the oil pump replaced also since the pan will be off, the pump is inside the pan, correct?

where is the cheapest place to pick up a new pan/gasket/pump and new bolts to hold the pan on?

thanks

ebay is like $50 for the pan and autozone.com wants $129.99+ for the pump.

any advice is greatly appreciated?

Cant help ya much.... BUT GET TO ONE OF OUR MEETS!

 

I would look at the pump, if it's gummed up, change it. Me personally, i woudl change it either way though.

Just do it yourself if you can and have the tools, it's not too bad to get to.

 

when is the next meet man?

 

yeh, me and the mechanic know about moving the engine.

shade tree guy? please explain......

 

can someone please give me the OEM Ford Part numbers for the oil pan w/oil level sensor and part number for oil pump.

thanks.

I've done this to my truck, the gasket I used was blue and had o rings that the bolts go through this time. I had my transmission out at that time so lifting the engine was easier but I think that you can lift it enough to pull that pan off without pulling the whole engine up. Just lift it a few inches and then see what happens.

 

ok guys, called up the dealership and got these prices.

Oil Pan - $67.53 + tax
New style Gasket = $51.26 + tax
OIl Pump = $123.81 + tax

Can i find these part cheaper online or where can i get the fel-pro gasket.

Is it worth paying $67 for the ford pan or should i get one at autozone for $50.00??

found 2 felpro gaskets on this website for the 3.0 motor, which one is the one i should get?

you do know that the motor has to be lifted out to change this oil pan, correct?

can i throw a case of beer in with the pizza and wings?

 

I know D. does not drink beer so for him it would have to Mountain Dew.

 

Pretty sure when D. says its an easy task in his opinion he knows what he is doing. Take him up on this deal for sure

 

Lots of Dew it would be.

 

Hi everyone, I too am replacing my oil pan on my 97 ranger 3.0 4x4. I can not get the oil pan back in. I pulled the old one out the front. I tried it the same way for install but it did not work. I tried from the back, keep in mine I had the engine hoisted up a good 5 inches and the tranny jacked up about 3 inches. I can not get the pan by the tranny to engine shield or the oil pump. I am wondering if I can slide the oil pan up there withe oil pump in the pan and then bolt oil pump to the block? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

 

$350 labor charge to replace oil pan? May I ask where is this guy located any where in California? I really need mine done. Others asking over $700 and over in my area. EM tino20033@gmail.com
