I'm posting this to hopefully help others, not for arguments sake. Pan Removal Trick: I have 2018 Tahoe 6L80 trans. and the pan will come right out! Not sure if your ride will have it (i know most do), but I removed the heat shield on passenger side of pan (2 bolts). Then I was able to slide the pan over to passenger side about 3 inches, then twisted the front of the pan towards the driver side and it came right out! Removing the little heat shield gives you lots more room. If you look at the back of the pan (shallow end), there is a little raised area on the bottom about 3 inches from the passenger side, that spot is the point that will allow you to move passed the exhaust y pipe (cross over pipe). Hope this helps!! 👍

Unbolt trans mount and raise up the rear of tranny a little bit

The top if my wells have rusted out and i dont have the holes , would i be able to glue it?

OMG, you cut the exhaust? Ya just loosen the rear mount bolts and jack up the back. The pan will fall right out. Most dealers will just suck out the fluid and to hell with your filter.

Great video, well done Blake!

Cool

Typical Chevy rust

What is the pounds you have it set at

I need to do this to my work truck. I blew mine on my way to work due to a failed thermostat that got stuck closed. Mine luckily didnt get too hot to cause damage to the lower end.

Hey Sir! We sincerely look for a collaboration with you! Are you interested in trying our fog lights for your Sierra?😆

What size fitting did you end up going with on the metal brake line?

What mud flaps do you have.

Thankyou Brother

Wow so cool and fun to watch. Going next year, I thought it was going to rain Sat , ugh .Thanks !!

Cool 😎

Would you sale it

You can get the filter out while the pan is hung up on the cross pipe. Once you get the filter out the pan slides right out. Just make sure to put the pan back over the cross pipe before putting the new filter back.

What cylinder heads did you use I have a blown head gasket that I have to replace and I might as well replace the cylinders with Vortec cylinder I drive a 1985 GMC 3 quarter ton

Is it possible to drill the hole for the drain plug into the pan while it's still installed? obviously don't push the drill bit through more than a millimeter. then let the fluid drain. Then remove the pan, clean any metal shards and install the drain pug kit and re install?

Hey good evening

Aren’t the Vortex heads for a 3.4 liter? Same block size I’m thinking.

where do you buy these

What size is your truck box?

LMAO, your first comments had me laughing as I remember this horror story myself...thanks GM!

Good video- ❤ those Square Bodies

Awesome Blake, Great work, fellow SB lover and owner

Hey, great video! Lots of good tips and help. But big question is What size bolts did you purchase for the rear? I am putting the same extendeder flares on my 13 silverado.

Great video. I’m ready to change oil on 71 GMC.

If you plan on just reusing all the rockers and stuff in the head, do you even need to mess with adjusting those rods?

Secret ,loosening transmission mount and pry up and it will give u 2 to 3 inches to pull pan out..

No need to cut tbe pipe brother!!! all you need to do is remove the filter after you drop the pan and wiggle while it turning drivers side. I have done it many times on my 6L80. Nice info on the BMW plug.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video . A lot of good information that will help people save money and be able to learn and do things for themselves. Has there been any leaks on the drain plug ? Thanks again.

Only way a dealer changed that fluid before was by dropping the y pipe or prying down a bit on the exhaust and squeaking the pan by which is what I have done. Putting in a drain plug in a pan usually just calls for another possible leak. But you picked a hell of a time to drop the pan. 😊

What size lift kit is on it? 2-4 inch or 6-8? Would I have to get one for a bigger lift? I can’t find any that’s the problem

this Canada eh? lol sorry bout your luck. I know the feeling. Was enjoyable to watch though. Reminds me of VGG in Minnesota lol

Put a duramax in leave the turds for the Mopar boys

Hey buddy you should really try the sky Jacker shocks out!! My 1969 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 with 13” of lift and running 39” boggers rides smoother than any 2007 Duramax for sure!!! The shocks where like 45.00$ each!! I ran not the cheapest ones but the next ones up!! I will only run skyjacker lift kits because I have noticed with other lift that after a year or two they will start to sag and not be as tall as they were on the install!!! Plus I have never had any issues with skyjackers stuff either!! Every one that rides in my big truck are completely amazed with how well it rides going down the road and are always asking me how I did it!!! Other then running skyjacker lift and doing a rear shackles flip on it with all grease able bolts that is it!!! I think the shocks are the hydro 8000 shocks but not completely sure?? Now on my 1981 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 I ran there M95 shocks I believe and I like them also but not as smooth of a ride with them!!! Well hopefully that helps you out on picking a set!!

1 sweet ride

With those big tires how have you not cracked your frame behind the steering box?

Just cut the rusty ends off and cap them even with the side of the truck. It will look so much better.

Lol, this was me last week. Had to drop the exhaust at the cats. All day project

Surely this is not a serious video? To get the pan off a K2 truck you move it about 45 degrees to the driver's side and it slides right out. Just have to practice the technic until you get it down.

Hi, good video. What is the thickness of the reinforcing material? I'm from Europe and would make one myself out of stainless steel. my car is a 1978 Chevrolet Cheyenne. Thanks.

Fix it up like rebuild it and bigger tires

First time watching your channel and from the little I know and what you said, the truck is exactly 💯 what you said it was and what happened to it. I like your idea about putting the bb driveline in the green truck and giving her a Cummins heart!!! Can't wait to see what happens, thanx

If you ever want to sell those wheels let me know. I like them .

Not impossible Blake! There is a way to wiggle the pan a little and it will come out! Just did this last week!

Nice vid and great truck! Like your style, no bs, useful info for squarebody been such as myself. Am looking to get my first squarebody right now here in the UK. Not much choice though and all very pricey, and not a lot of model specific knowledge over here (at least compared to US & Canada), so channels such as this are very helpful. Subscribed.

What a beautiful rig! That's a dream truck!
