Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Default Can’t get the oil pan to drop ?!

All the bolts are out but it won’t drop. I’ve tried to pry and pull slide it every which way, of course not enough to bend or damage the pan. The front is down but the back is stuck on the the transfer case or whatever it is that’s right behind it. Wondering if I have to drop that orrr??? Maybe I’ll try to jack it up and see if I can get any more wiggle room??

Vehicle /motor info may help. Did you remove the oil pump? Pick up may be stopping it.

You can't take the pump off until the pan is out of the way........

Did you pull the dust shield off the trans? Pan sticks back into it a ways, and it will hang up on it when trying to drop it out.

With the 360 you need to make sure that the first/front counterweight of the crankshaft is not pointing down.
Try to rotate the crankshaft in little steps and try again. And like said, the dust cover of the trans needs to be removed.
Still a bit tricky, but it works.

You will remember the removal as a walk in park, when you have accomplished the following installation with a fresh gasket and wet sealer upon...

PS: Don´t forget remove the dip stick; with the rear sump it´s guided through a channel inside the pan.

Once I took the dust shield off it came out just fine. Got it all back together now.

But now I have an electrical issue, my turn signals won’t work.

I’ve checked the fuse it’s good & getting power.

It doesn’t feel like the switch is messed at all it clicks up and down as normal, doesn’t have any extra play up or down.

The hazard/flasher lights work so I know it isn’t the bulbs. Also the hazard switch is not sticking causing it to cancel out the turn signals..

maybe a loose connection somewhere? I can’t find a wiring diagram anywhere on the www. that seems to do me any justice.

Plz send help thanks 😂

Do the lights come on, and just don't flash? Or do they not come on at all? I *think* there are two separate flasher units for the e-flashers, and turn signals......
