It really was. All the way along there were minor scuffs, then that huge drain bolt grabbed on and torn the back off the pan. Wonder if I should install a skid plate. On Saturday, February 11, 2006, at 05:04 PM, John Berryman wrote: Things happen for a reason I'm told. The oil pan

I am wanting the whole shebang new. There were a few bolts that felt cross threaded while trying to get the pan off. Going to want a fresh drain plug and gasket. On Saturday, February 11, 2006, at 07:29 PM, John Berryman wrote: On Saturday, February 11, 2006, at 10:04 PM, redghost wrote:

Sweet and most bodacious List Mom, what is the charge to procure a pan to allow Gump to once more roam the streets of Seattle? It would need the drain plug installed and maybe a few pan bolts. Shipped to 98105 On Sunday, February 12, 2006, at 08:31 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: I have

Marshall, I am very slow, slow as my car. That is what surprised me, was I hit something going fast enough that it had force enough to go through the pan. There seems to be a dearth of 61x pans in the local market at the moment. I do want the car back on the road, and if a spare is

Something jumped up and bit the sh*t out of my oil pan in Gump. Time to get out the welder! Welding oily/fuely metal can be tricky, as it soaks into the pores. Can be done, however. Of course, a U-Pull pan, if available, is easier and plenty cheap enough. -- Jim
