    Great job! , I have had just done this job last summer with my 91 dodge, but mine had the cummins in it so I was alot more challenging cause i had to remove the transmisson and there were alot more oil pan bolts😅

    I have a 1978 D150 that I bought last October...I drove it from a neighboring state and it died when I got home. Fathers Day i got it running again and have been driving it every since, but I replaced everything on the top end minus heads, an aluminum radiator and all the elected leaders electrical ignition parts.
    I intend to do the suspension, I have headers for it, but over the winter I want to tear the motor apart and install the goodies with the stock bottom end just freshened up.
    This is a job I'm tackling this week after installing motor mounts and still need to install the transmission mount which up do after this is done!
    Great videos and information!

    This is a great video. I have a 96 Dodge Ram (2nd gen) with the 360 (5.9) that also has a leak from the rear main seal.
    There are a couple of small differences that I know about but this is a fantastic walk threw on how to do this job. I am also, like you, replacing the oil pump while I am in there. I have a few more miles (175k) and figure it is just wise while I am in there.
    Just Thank you for a great video!

    If you’re willing to use the silicone pan gasket, felpro typically includes the plastic pins that will not only align the pan but hold it in place so you can install all other bolts. Super convenient and easier than having to make your own. Great video friend. Keep em coming!

    Good job. With that many miles, I might've replaced all of the rod bearings while it was open.
    But also, I might've had the cylinder heads off too, then pushed all of the piston/rods out, used a deglazing hone on the cylinders, then replaced all of the piston rings.....I might have to do that while the heads are off right now....my 318's #4 cylinder was lower compression than the rest, and a wet test shot it waaaay up! 😆

    So I recently did this on my 78 D150...I found that on the 318 you don't have to raise the engine at all to get the oil pan out. I'm not sure if it's simply a difference in engine size or a difference between the 70s and 80s. Either way it made it a lot easier for me.

    • @JasonExplainsThings

    I put a new Radiator and electric fan on my 89 D250 and after I was done and fired it up a growing pool of oil was under it as I looked for Radiator leaks. I heard it could be done without engine removal but got stuck at getting it out. Did some looking and saw where the engine mounts could be loosened so when I get back at it I'll hopefully get it wrapped up. Glad you replaced the pump as they're cheap and good insurance. In case anybody is curious never use a highflo pump as it will starve the crank.

    Anyone know if this method works on a 4x4 2nd gen 2500 with the 5.9 magnum?

      To be able to remove the oil pan… as stated in the video.

    Hi Jason,
    I have an 1986 D-150 5.2L- can you tell me how long it took to do the complete repair ? I have no garage on my own and need to rent something . So far I did my repairs outside..Many tghanks and greetings from Germany. Tom

      It's hard to guess because I was shooting a video which slows everything down. I'd say for a first time job it will take you at least a full day, maybe two. And greetings from Washington State! :-)

    For those who may be new to this stuff, Disconnect your battery before you go to remove the starter.

    I have the 1987 Dodge d150 2 wheel drive 318 engine same color it was my father's who had it since 1996 and he recently passed away 2019 and it set for 5 years since 2017 recently got it in my name inherited and going through issues on getting it running again which it ran fine before it set having issues with fuel getting to the carburetor then change the fuel pump fuel filter few other things seems to be running a little bit better after I noticed a line was off underneath the engine still want to die out a little bit though also rear seal leaks major work we done to it is a timing chain and a steering wheel column besides that it runs like a champ it did thinking need a new carburetor rebuild kit or just new one in general it's the original Holly pushing over 300k miles but it's a beast still after setting for 5 years dropped a battery in it basically it's turned right on over

    I feel stupid for asking but it's the first time I'm doing a job like this on my 1985 D150 with the 360, did you have to do anything with the transmission? Does it need to be removed?

    Use a one piece silicone rubber gasket for a Magnum. Buy a piece of cheap thread all and cut it up into at least a half dozen studs. Buy a 42 dollar 1994 magnum pan from Rock Auto use a magnum pickup. Goop the mating surfaces liberally with RTV on the ends and sparingly on the sides. I have been using those old LA cork and rubber 4 piece sets since 1970 and never again . I did this yesterday Free ,I say Free at last
