Few Questions on Gaskets
Alright, here it goes. I know I need a new oil pan gasket and I know there is no easy way to do it. I also appear to need a new water pump and tranny pan gasket. I've been looking around and think that the pan just drops down for the transmission but was wondering if anyone else had done one themselves and could confirm it for me. Last is the water pump. It looks like an ugly job, but I don't have the $500 to throw at it so it looks like I'm doing it myself. Has anyone done a water pump on their truck themselves and is it as involved as I'm afraid it is? Thanks for any and all responses, I really appreciate it. Truck info is in the sig, and I do have A/C if that makes a difference for anyone

the tranny pan does just drop down, pretty easy there and to me, the water pump is easy to change just time consuming, once you get the fan and shroud out of the way then you have a lot more room and can see what you need to do a lot better. Take your time and you will be just fine with both.

Well, I got lucky, in a manner of speaking. I took it in to get the oil pan gasket done and had him look over my work (water pump amd tranny pan gasket) All of that looked good but the timing chain cover gasket was shot. While he was in there he was able to hit the oil pan gasket up with some RTV sealant and get it back where it is supposed to be. May not be a long term fix but it bought me some time and it's not leaking oil anymore! WooHoo!
