1.Drop all the pan bolts
2.Take the 4 bolts out that hold the engine mounts to the frame.
3. Jack up the engine slightly. ( I used the lip between the engine and
trans for the jack point).
4. Pull the pan down as far as it will go
5. Reach in between the pan and the block and remove the 4 bolts that hold
the oil pick up tube, let tube drop into the pan
6.wiggle and tilt pan out the front of the truck (easier if the radiator and
fan are out)
7. Sit back and have a beer (or several) and rejoice in your mechanical
skill
8. Ponder how hard it is to get the pickup tube bolted back on (it is doable
but a real pain in the ass)
Hope this helps,
