Have anyone had the pan rust thru? How hard is it to change the pan on the Hemi? I have heard horror stories about changing Ram oil pans but I am not sure if they were talking about the Hemi or the CTD. Thanks Mike

Not sure what type of metal they use for the pans but it`s crap! https://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.hunt.750/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northeast-Mighty-Mopar-Club/365435766974452?ref=aymt_homepage_panel `72 Barracuda 340/4spd `70 road runner 383/auto `73 road runner 400/4spd `76 W100 clubcab

The outer layer goes pretty fast when it gets a dose of gravel and salt. The inner layer will hold oil even if the outer is pretty much gone, at least for a while. It sure looks bad though.

It was actually weeping oil when he traded it in. The only other pan I've seen rusted through around here was on a 2.2 in an Omni GLH I had. They do get rusty around here like Gene said. The road "salt" is more like salt/acid. A hobby of mine is sitting in the living room watching the rockers rust off my old truck.

Now it looks like a rust explosion. Both bedsides around the wheelwell, another spot by the tailpipe, the rear bumper, bottoms of the doors at the pinch flanges, and the passenger side rocker is approaching rust-through status too. 9 years was a good run I guess!

I cleaned it off good used rust converter then a couple coats of black paint, came through last winter fine no new rust or anything on the pan. The body on the other hand looks like a explosion of rust in the last 10 months. Can't [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] 212k on it and going strong!
