You're welcome! Relatively simple fix, wasn't it.
Carl,
Actually, A good fix, but in this case not simple. The son-in-law's truck is a 2500HD with 4WD. That ment dropping the front pumpkin which made "JUST" enough room to juggle the pan out. If there had been even 1/8" less room...... Took about 3 hrs to get it apart, and 6 hrs to reassemble. Still better than replacing all lifters and finding out that was not it. Again, a big THANKS. Your suggestion was right on!
Copied and pasted from the other forum:
My truck is a 2500 HD also, but 2WD. Dropping the oil pan was a relatively simple operation on that truck without a differential in the way.
Yes, it would have been VERY frustrating to open up the engine and replace the lifers and have the problem NOT fixed.
