tarmac2dirt Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 need to pull the oil pan and was wondering if the pan will come off with engine in the chassis. Looks like there is enough room. this is a 1988 2wd MJ if that matters. thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Yes. You can remove the pan with the engine still in. It helps to raise the body and let the axle hang down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 for a 4.0L you need to let the axle droop as much as possible. you might even need to pop off the track bar or sway links to get that extra last couple inches. be careful that the oil pump and pickup tube are in there and can get bumped during removal if you force it to hard.

75sv1 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I'd add shocks to what Pete said. Or you can put a 4.5" lift on it, and the oil pan drops right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
