Subject: Oil Pan 4x4
IP: Logged

Message:
Anybody got an extra Oil pan for a 4x4 3.9L? I've tried Autozone, Advance, Napa and Carquest and keep getting the 2wd oil pan which won't fit over the front diff. I had a lil' ignition problem.... the lower half of my engine ignited and blew the #2,3 and 4 rods out the bottom of the oil pan. My replacement engine has 2wd Oil pan. After 3 tries ordering and getting wrong parts I'm about to go Insane w/out my Dak! Any help or directions to a site will be much appreciated! Not lookin for no fancy crome, I actually USE the 4x on a regular basis :D

There has to be one somewhere out there, We have an enourmous junk yard north of Austin but they won't sell just the Oil Pan they want $250 for the whole engine!!!

Whew! It APPEARS to be the right pan but when I held them up next to each other the old Oily one slipped and sliced the bejesus out of my middle left finger. Oh well, Back in the shop 2morrow to get it back on the road :)

Wish me luck,
Shank

Just rap that finger up good and when you drive
down the road be sure you keep that hand at the
12 o clock position on the steering wheel.

That way everyone will think you are fliping them
off when you drive by. LOL

Oh ya don't forget to smile

LMAO, I went to work today and everybody kept staring at my finger, When they would ask I would just "Give 'em the Bird" and say "Yeah, It's just a flesh wound".

The Oil Pan Fit! I managed to get the engine back in and the mounting bolts tight. 2morrow I get the tranny and accessories hooked back up and gonna attempt a Computer split with a combination of 2 wiring harnesses..... This Outta be Fun. ZaaaaaaaP!

Later
