2006 oil pan damage
How can I get a new oil pan. It now has some dents and serious scratches. There is no way the factory warranty will cover correct??? Is it true that the engine may need to be pulled to replace it??
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes the engine will need to be lifted to replace. I don't think it will have to be pulled, just depends. Fill out your sig so we know what you got! On another not.....Why should warranty pay for it? Is it a defect in craftsmanship or a faulty pan because it bent? I think you knew the answer to your own question on that part!

In my opinion, if the pan ain't leakin'...............I would just live with the scratches and dents. How did you dent and scratch the oil pan anyway?

Thanks for the instructions, those look kind of easy. Sorry, haven't figured out the signature thing yet. '06 cummins stock automatic tranny short bed. And as far as the warranty, just being funny and thinking that they should supply an engine protection plate (just manditory on the 4x4s of course) for fourwheelin.

Well I accidentally went 4x4ing and got stuck sideways on a mountain road and was a little wreckless. 1 week after buying it. It's been a few months and it is not leaking and everything has been fine, so I don't think I'll change it. thanks no pan needed, apreciated though.

replace it or else
if the oil pan is bent, the pickup tube underneat it could be bent and might be sucking air or causing a restriction.
I have the same problem right now and I am going to replace my pan and inspect the oil pick up tube. At Idle my truck oil pressure according to the electric gauge is dropping. I know that this is not an accurate gauge.
So becareful before you decide not to change your pan.
Mine doesn't leak either.
Does anyone know how much clearance there is with the oil pick up tube to the oil pan? Mine is dented up about 2 inches i think...
