I am getting very close to getting the Chief ready for use.

When I bought it, I noticed the oil pan had a coating of oil and grime.

When I changed the oil, I could see that the pan gasket is the source of the leak.

The Mobil 1 10W-30 is coming out a little more readily than the old oil.

I read the instructions in X7425 -- the job looks pretty horrible.

1) Is pulling the final drive and trans a reasonable "driveway" job?

2) Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to have the gasket replaced professionally?
