Brilliant Mikey. Lots of good stuff to educate other operators who are gonna change the sump...or oil pan as you guys call it What your video cannot convey is the utterly horrible mess as oil runs up your arm and go where oil is not supposed to go. I feel your pain. So many times I've had the same angst, trying to fit an oil filter filled with oil and screw it on to the housing. Your fingers are covered in oil and slip like hell on the filter. Once you got it on by a couple of threads, you can clean your hands, and the filter and tighten it tighty tighty by hand. That slippery oil catches you out all the time. Even although you say at the beginning...this time there will be NO MESS.....there always is a mess. It's the Law.

Yeah your right. Torque it correctly. Over tightening will cause them to leak. Did it in my 12 valve. It mushrooms the bolt holes on the pan which caused the gasket to not sit down all the way. Then you gotta buy a new pan.

Great job, Dirt Boss you definitely take pride in your fleet

I wish I could have loaned you my Steril-Koni Lift system. It makes things like this so much easier. Keeps the oil baths from happening. As I was watching I keep thinking Mike's about to get soaked. Good informative video. Take care Mike.

That was a super tough job Mike, I took an oil bath like that dropping a 5qt Ford flathead V8 pan on my Willys jeep years ago...can't imagine handling that "bath tub" Cummins pan. Glad you replaced it, wouldn't ever want to do that again. But now you know the ins and outs of it.✔💯

Enjoy watching all of your projects. I hope the pan stays dry for a long time.

great job, I'm retired now so thank god never have to do an other pan change, nasty job but an important one

Looking good. I enjoy working on my trucks and equipment. It’s how you learn about your trucks/equipment 👌

Hey Mike, great piece of mind doing it yourself. Then you know it’s done 💯% right. Last owner did well by you, and a testament that oil that is made today is way better than the old days. I imagine you’ll be off to the races pretty quick here. Good luck

You work hard, glad you are passing this onto Max👍💯. Great job, keep on " truckin"😊

Even with the oil bath still easier then a 6.7 Cummins. I had that joy this past winter. Gotta lift the engine to clear the crossmember. Nicely done.

Great job Mike. I think you can do anything. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. Still enjoying my cap.

Well, that went alright for you, only one bath.... I would have been well oiled 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️ Bit of an awkward job for one person, you did well to get the sump replaced. Kenworth did a good job in locating one for you, complete with gasket and seals !!

Love you Dirt Boss!!!! Keep up the great work and videos. Also, love seeing all the work your doing at the Aldis project!!! Great going on that job!!!

Boss man… it must be a relief to find the pan was clean? When I was a kid, motor oil was not nearly as good as what we have today. It broke down much faster under heat and didn’t have the Mulit-viscosity characteristics. If an engine went 100k miles, you were lucky. My dad kept a pencil magnet in his tool box. When he dropped a pan or opened a small gas engine block. He stuck the magnet into a rubber glove and fished around to find metal flakes. He used kerosene to rinse the pans and sprayed it into the bottom of the block to remove all of the gunk. That was a messy job but one that he believed added life to the engine. It had to be done often because the gaskets were made of cork. It got hard and brittle. And, the rubber used in the seals was all natural… it broke down too. There are so many technological improvements in automobiles that have increased their engine life. But, in my opinion, none attributed more than improved oil and seals! You did a great job filming and explaining this. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort!

awesome job nicer then a 7.3 oil pan good job Mike

I allways take out the screw for the back is 1 gallon there

NICE! What a great video intro! The BEST looking 'dump truck' used to put ALL sorts of stuff IN IT - NEVER - 'On IT'! Guess I'll watch the video now!

41NY was my local Union before they merged to local one!!!! You reminded me today of my dad calling me a grease monkey when I was working on the cars 😂😂😂!!!! I wish you had a covered area where you could have gotten this done on the dreaded down days of winter with a heater keeping you warm while doing it!!! But it’s great seeing you getting it done anyway!!!LIKE A BOSS !!! I like it!!! Looking forward to some warm weather content and better conditions than the water hole you have been in during the last few videos!!!! Send my regards to the family oh and it was great seeing Max running the equipment teaching them young I love it!!!!

ehhh, did it last time in winter, -30c, night, on side of service road with flashlight......i remember a lot of swearing :D but hey, two years later aint leaking....

Truck looks beautiful,tough job by yourself. Gives you that good feeling when your done.

The best truck motor made as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the content.

Just replaced a Cat C7 shallow sump oil pan last night. Thanks for your video admittedly 36 1inch identical bolts was alot easier than your big cummins. Hopefully no leaks

Well done, Mike on dirty jobs couldn't do better. Might have been the 📷 but when you were checking for leaks, front driver side, rear of spring, looked like 3rd spring back have was bouncing up and down with the truck running. Maybe my eyes but you might want to look at it. Stay safe.

Back on site!!! Kind of lol

Good job db👌👌

Nasty job for one guy.

Haha when you went wooooooo taking old pan off I knew right then an there a oil bath just happened 😂😂 hey it happens more than not, great work Mike, that's nice no major components need to be takin off to get the pan down, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌

Nice work- oil baths are going for the skin!

Thats a difficult job! Any job dealing with oil is always going to be unpleasant. Nice ah nice👍👍

Nice job 😎 lit suggestion add one more gal of oil as you remember that lit bath on the other side of your pan has room for exact one more gal of oil good luck and thank you for a video :)

Wow what a job

Pretty cool thank you, 👋👌👍

Do luv the shine on that chrome. ❤ and to think she ain’t garaged either..

Thanks bro I know how much more of a pain in the ass it is to film this

thats a job dang, you will sleep good tonight , i bet 👍👍👍

The Boss knows!

Nice sounding Cummins in the K-Whopper! nice truck!

I like to punch a hole in the bottom of the oil filter. Let it drain out. No chance of dropping it and making a mess when it’s empty. 👍🏻

I saw that oil hit you well before you felt it. I was yelling at you to let you know but, I guess you didn’t hear me 😆

Thank you for this one big Mike!

Nice a nice 💪💪

Excellent 👍

Great job Boss 👍🏻🇺🇸

Nice mess Mike, not your style. Nice job getting this done and explaining your way through it!! Back on the road!! Great work Mike 💪👍🇺🇸

One way to get the pan up is to take your socks off and put the bolt in your toes and screw it in😅😅

You had me laughing so damn hard on this one Mike. Wires get caught and Mike tells those wires, "Get off my boys". ROFLMAO

Sorry bro, I laughed my butt off when you dumped that oil on yourself! I've done the same thing to myself numerous times.😁😁

D-Boss! How’d that oil look after you fired it up? Diesel oil changes leave me unsatisfied…great video as usual!

As usual Great Job 🍺🍺🍺

Good job Mike. An extra set of hands would’ve been really handy on that job but I’m glad you installed a new oil pan instead. It’s a better piece of mind. When are you going to build a shop?

Hey Boss. Nice job worth getting dirty and the pride in tackling the job yourself knowing it's done right and no wait. If you were out working, all your pay that day will go to someone else. Been there.

A man Pit to change oil and work on the equipment. It hurts when you put a wrench on that truck 😪

I had an oil pan go porous on me a few years ago. I tried repainting the outside with the appropriate paint and sealer but it was too far gone. It was like a sieve in the end, those oil pans take a beating over winter under a vehicle. Would that new pan not need painting, Mike?

👌👌🤓🤓

Hello sir thanks for video. Could you please share with me the Cummins part number for the oilpan ? Thanks.

Awesome effort! You got the job done! Do you deliver crusher run to Raymertown? Got a 1/4 mile road to resurface.

Ohh, I hate dirty trucks LOL steam cleaner is a mechanics best friend, better than the mrs LOL

Thank you on videos like this of YOU actually Showing while Doing the job (many so far) - and like I've said B4 'CANDIDLY'! QUESTION IS: How do you do the work and get such detailed VIDEO at the same time as you speak? To whom do we give credit? Listen, all these steps you show mean a big deal - THANKS!

😂😅 been there and dumped the tee-shirt. Horrible job on your own.

More cummins trash! Never saw that with caterpillar, aluminum pan.

Lmao
