can anyone tell me how to change pan on 98 durango 4x4?

I know i need to lift engine - but how much? and what needs to be disconnected first? I don't have to lift the whole thing out do i?

 

You should just have to disconect the motor mounts and lift the motor if it is a 5.9L or 5.2L enough to remove the pan. You will need to remove the skid plates if equipted.

 

im not quite sure on a 98 with a 5.2 or 5.9 but it was a real pain on my '02 with a 4.7L. i couldnt get enough clearance between the pan and the fron axle with just the motor mounds disconnected, i also had to disconnect the tranny mount. lol. so glad i already had the 3" body lift on it. other wise not sure if it would have cleared without yanking the motor lose.

 

X2, plus trans

 

You have to remove the front axel and mounts up the &*$%^&*

Your better off pulling the motor.
