@masonorlando1747 I honestly had to drop the oil pan. It really didn't take that long to drop the pan. I was hesitant to drop it, but Im glad that I did do it. By dropping the pan, I also replaced the oil pick-up tube. They have videos on TH-cam showing how to do it without dropping the pan, but you need a few things to go your way. Like you need to be a smaller person to fit between the engine and radiator. You need to be careful not to drop the bolt in the pan when removing it or installing it back. I did watch one video where after the bolt was removed the guy making the video drilled a hole through the bolt and fed wire through the bolt and through the oil pump which allowed him to start threading the bolt vertically in the pickup tube into the oil pump. With that said, I found that dropping the pan made everything a lot easier. I suggest putting the vehicle up on jacks to give you room to drop the pan. From the time I jacked it up, dropped the pan, then replaced the oil pickup tube and oil pump, it probably took me 3 and half to 4 hours. And that's with cleaning the oil pan. Im glad i did it. Now i have a new gasket on the oil pan. In order to remove the pan, you do have to un bolt the crossmember and drop the 2 bolts for the steering. I have a 2007 gmc yukon xl 5.3
@@TheBucktowncrazy see now I have a 01 1500 with the lm7 I rlly don’t want to drop the pan like I rlly rlly don’t want to at all not to mention the time I have on my hands I just don’t know , do you know if the pickup tube has any play in it? Say I didn’t drop the pan and I managed to get the bolts out of the tube and the oil pump was free , does the pickup tube have enough play to pop it out of the oil pump and slide it off vise versa
Isn't there a few different style pickup oil tubes? I'm just wondering what style you have? I think some tabs were loose and some were solid, but very good idea, thanks for your video
Or you have braces further down the pickup tube that are bolted to the bottom of the crankcase divider or whatever you call it (the metal pan between the crank and oil pan itself) like I do then you may as well just do it right and get it off and cleaned out just make sure you have a decent jack with a wide base pref an adjustable trans jack to hold the front axle and diff so you dont need to drop the whole thing completely to the ground. And can manuever it right back into place fairly easy
@@nickvicious13those other brakets dont matter, all he's talking about is the tab that bolts to the pump, nothing else about the position of the tube changes.
This wont work unless you have an anomaly of a pickup tube that is ONLY held on by this single bolt by the inlet or there was some half ass job done before you and they didnt put the bolt back on but if youre like me theres always some problem and i have braces further back on the tube that required dropping the front end partially anyway but ALMOST a decent idea and most likely you should clean all the crud out of the screen and bottom of the oil pan anyway SO WHAT ID DO UNBOLT THE CROSSMEMBER AND TRANFER CASE MOUNT BOLTS AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE AXLE MARKING THE POSITION OF IT so it will allow enough freedumb to be lowered the 2 or 3 inches required to get the pan down but thats all it really needs and you can get it out i mean unless you absolutely know for CERTAIN that your pan is spotless you should drain it and stick an inspection camera in there to see the bottom of the pan and pickup tube to see if doing this is realistic but maybe its just my luck having to do things the hard way..
I'm doing this as we speak the problem I'm having is getting the pump back in place without screwing up the new oring yes I took the pump gears out just like when I removed the old one!!! Don't chance it take the oil pan off!!!
I'd rather not deal with metal shavings in my oil pain , being pumped up into my engine. BUT.... for those of you who don't mind ruining your engine, DO NOT. REPEAT. DO NOT CUT THAT TAB OFF.!!!! just drop the pan and do it right.
Man you saved me a big headache this worked awesome, thanks so much buddy
Wow, I cant believe nobody else has commented on this! You literally saved me from committing suicide, thank you!
Same
Thank you so much! This will save me hrs of work!
Until you have to do it again because you messed up the o ring do it right remove the oil pan!!!
How did yall get the bolt out ?
Did any find out how to get bolt out from the oil tube line so u dont have to drop oil pan ??
I’m having trouble understanding how you get the pump off before you file the tab. Also doesn’t this create a lot of metal shavings in your crankcase?
Yeah-EXACTLY- WTF??!!
Not enough to matter, it's a small tab you can easily can and vacuum out you rookie

Nice !!! this helps out alot if it works then saves me more time with the fam
i did this made it 100x easier to put the bolt in
Thanks for making the video. By chance did you make a video on how to take that one bolt out?? It seems impossible to do without dropping the pan.
Did u figure it out?

Yes, unfortunately mine (06 Envoy 5.3 4x4) is welded and can't be spun.

So you took a grinder to that pickup tube with the oilpan open like that? You live too close to the edge for my liking.
Ole=oil
Boat=bolt
Unless u have a 4x4 just drop the pan. 6 bolts for the Crossmember and 2 bolts to loosen the steering rack
Makes alot of sense thanks

Good tip but you didn't show the process
Is this on a 4×4 truck?
I dropped the oil pan in 4x4 to install oil pump correctly.
No skill
Country boys are very smart
What tab are you talking about. This was no help all your did was blabber on about how ya did it but didn’t show it. 😂
Exactly
Currently working on mine and I completely agree. This just seems lazy to me. Do it right and drop the pan.
Thanks
Mmmmm It does not make sense to me
Just buy the gasket
Guaranteed leak right here! Take your pan off, do it right....once.
Wut? 😳
