1993 Dakota 2 wheel drive, with the 3.9 V6.

Can the oil pan gasket be replaced without pulling the engine? work

Bonus question; how hard is it to replace the rear main seal too? nervous

I'm pretty certain a majority of the leak(ing) is from the gasket because it didn't leak until I messed with the pan back when I replaced the timing chain. blush

While I don't mind the rust proofing aspect of it leaking, the stench of it leaking on hot exhaust is getting annoying. puke

I would consult my service manual, but it's packed away right now, so I'm asking here instead. help

Thanks! Santa3

ive done it on my 92,i think i had to remove the mounts and put a 2x4 under them to get clearance(my rear main leaks also,even after a new seal) OR the cam plug in the back of the block??


my ladder of success is missing some rungs
