Am I the only one without one?
« on: March 17, 2010, 07:53:10 pm »
85 GMC (Cross Bred) K10.

I have been under the truck a bunch here these last few days, and remember thinking man this Oil pan gasket will be a breeze to change out! It didn't dawn on me at the time..There is no cross member under the oil pan, or center of the engine? Am I the only one? did any of these trucks come out like this? There is a small cross member towards the front of the engine compartment. Any body have any pics of their K10 cross member?

I will take some pics under mine..Oh and it's missing a U Bolt under the pumpkin side on the front Diff..LOL.

 It might look like the pan will come right off, but you still have to raise the motor 2 or more inches.

You won't have to raise the engine at all to get the oil pan off. I've replaced a couple of them by just dropping the pan off.
