Removing the oil pan is the best way to clean the sludge out.

You have to remove the front axle to drop the pan on a 4x4.

I managed to pull the oil pump and replace it without pulling the engine or dropping the pan there was enough room to get it out and i just flushed out the pickup tube the Truck runs great.
