One of the best rtv sealants I've ever used is Hondabond. Costs more than standard etc but that stuff will seal anything. Especially good in its adhesion to rubber, meaning it's very effective at sealing those corners where block meets covers, etc.

Great great awesome video. I’m actually doing mine right now ALL WHEEL DRIVE. You do have to at least loose the differential and let in hang otherwise oil pan won’t come off. Thumbs up on the torque specs and sequence.

I agree with you that the new gasket looks like a really good quality gasket. It doesn't look flimsy that's for sure. It's really nice to get 2 birds with 1 stone getting this sort of work done while the truck is taken apart for your lift kit. Probably saves you a ton of time and work to do this all before you put all the lift and the diff all back in.

Great video, helped with my weekend project. My gasket was leaking at the oil cooler also...just bad design I guess. Your attention to detail and picture from your service manual were a great aid before I did my replacement.

I know this is an old video, but it's a good one. I have an 08 5.3 I'm doing this on. Yours is the only video that shows the torque sequences. I have the Haynes manual for mine, but it doesn't have the torque sequences, hopefully it's the same.The page in your book says all V8 engines, so..

glad you went with the lift on the project truck, it's going to be a beast. good informational on all the stuff you show

I just got to say you have a great attitude I am currently working on retrieving the end of the oil dipstick tube. Wonderful Winters, wonderful new liquid, sodium wonderful rust.

FYI ive done 2 oil pan jobs on 4wd/awd trucks with the front diff hanging not too bad

Wow you really dug into this one. Oil pressure sender maybe.

I know this is old now, but I'll comment anyway. My wife and I are planning a day or so in October to replace the entire gasket set on the bottom of the engine of our recently purchased 2004 Sierra 5.3 . It's leaking like crazy on the bottom. Which gaskets? Doesn't matter. Since it has 190K on it, it's best just to replace everything at once, since we are under there making a mess and the weather will be "good". (Weather is never good on a planned day). So rear seals to front seals and maybe even a timing chain if necessary. Why not? We'll be in there, just do it.

Great video man I watch your video because you explain all the things good job man

Nice easy video, thanks for sharing. Just wanted to figure out where to put the sealant.

Very good job 👍👍👍👍👍 Nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Very good Teaching 👌👍👌👌👌 Thank you so much for your video

thanks for the info buddy. quality video helped me out. gained a sub!

Good idea to do it now. They rivet the gasket? WTH! Looks like it was maintained pretty good.

I know this isn't the way you did it because you had it up on a rack and you were doing a whole lift kit, but for us guys that need to lie on our back on the floor, is it okay to use front tire ramps to support the vehicle when removing that crossmember and dropping the diff, or does the vehicle need to be on jack stands?

Good job that the best way to do it thanks

Very helpful, thanks!👍

Whole video, dude says IT EASY! Then at the end he says.. oh yeah, it's because crossmember and other parts already out of the way.. yeah.. OK, awesome

Seeing lots of comments saying the front dif needs to be dropped, just for clarity, does that mean the actual front dif and all of those components or just the axle leading to the transfer case?

Usually it’s the valve cover leaking from up top

I have a 2004 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 Vortex motor with 123,000 miles. I will eventually need to replace the gasket on this as well. Would you be able to send me a link to the manual that you were using? Thanks.

you should have added takin out the front differential..you dont have to totally drop it out.you should have added the time it takes to disconnect and lower the front diff also.changing an oil pan gasket is a very time consuming process not as easy as the video shows if its 4wd.

I got a gmc savana 3500 6.0 what are the torque specs for the oil pan bolts?

do you think if a body lift and torsion key lift upgrade will help to dont drop the differentia to remove the oil pan?

Hey did it fix your oil leak?

Hope u changed that o ring

You can in fact not remove it with the front diff in place... found that out the hard way tonight and then it started raining. but hey the oil pan separated itself after loosening the bolts.

you say to do when differential is off is that only 4wd or all 2500,s? I did see that cross beam in my way.

I can't get the oil pan to come out it hits the transmission I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.0 LT and it is (not the heavy duty) any suggestions please would help and I don't know how to lift the motor what bolts am I supposed to talk off or what

what is the correct torque on oilpan bolts? Nice job on the video. be blessed!

I have a question i accidently drilled through the rivet hole will it be fine as the fell pro gasket covers it or do i get it welded shut on the holes?

How to remove the rivots

You didn't do the other notorious problem... o ring on pic up tube

thumbs up

Does anyone know what the torque is for the oil cooling lines that attach into the oil pan?

How's your back doing ? If you have an update I didn't hear about it.

did yo add a silicone on the gasket

From did you get this book want it for tahoe 2009 if possible

Where can I get one of those books where it gives you the torque sequence

Are you using a deeper than stock oil filter? Just wonderin because I've wanted to try that on my 5.3L

Did this fix your leak? Thanks in advance

Is this 2wd or 4x4?

what book is that you have ? im needing to get one

I have a question.i recently got the 6.0 2500 swap into my 96 Chevy Silverado extended cab and my truck is dropped so my oil pan hit the road and it cracked on the bottom of the oil pan cover.so my question is do I have to lift my engine out just to switch the oil pan

Is it still leaking? From the side of the oil filter?

What you recommend me to do if one of the long rear bolts got broken?

how many hours of labor does it take to do this job? chevy dealer wants 580 bucks plus tax....I doubt it takes 4 hours to do this job

i have a question does your LS 1 6.0 liter have the iron block or the aluminum block

Drill it out with what???? How???? You and damn near every other youtuber completely skipped or did not mention how it was done.....

Didn’t show how to remove the front diff pointless
