02 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab anything special required to change the oil pan, mine is rusted and is seeping oil. how much of a hassle is it to change, any help would be great.

 

Some say you have to jack the engine or trans to get clearence. We did one on a buddy's 96 2500 4x4 and had to jack the tail shaft of the trans to get clearence for the rear of the lip of the pan.

 

i don't think i've ever seen an oil pan rust out. are you sure its seeping through the metal ? poke it with a small pick to be sure....

i'm not sure about your 02. for better info - you might want to repost over in the 3rd gen section.

but, on my 01, i remove the braces between engine and trans, starter, and flex plate cover. i don't have to remove exhaust pipes nor lift the engine.

as an alternative, you might clean up the exterior with brake cleaner and lay on a nice big coat of rtv.

 

Or JB Weld a metal patch on there if it ain't on a corner.
