Hey anyone out that may have had to do this tidious task before.... I need some help... Due to the one solid piece front cross member, what is the simplest way to removal the engine oil pan on this damned truck..... its a 95 5.2L Mark III... am I doomed to just pull the whole engine to change the oil pan gasket or is there another method that I just can't find? and help would be greatly appreciated

 

You can check the service manuals in the FAQ. They will give full details along with pics. The Mark III is not going to be different than any other 95 dakota when it comes to the oil pan.
