well a while ago i notice when i went to jack up my vehicle that my oil pan had a large dent in the bottom where the pick up would be. i didnt see this when rebuilding the engine....and i didnt take that part off either, but i think previously someone had previous tried to jack up the car with a floor jack right under the oil pan....is that bad? and ifit is,should ireplace it later andcan i do a dry sump system and how much do they cost and are they hard to put on?

Check the pickup to the bottom of the pan clearance and no your not going to do a dry sump system

i was advised that the clearance was fine. do they not make dry sump for the 5.0 or do you not recomend it? i just was curious because i saw a thing on t.v. on dry sump systems

2000+ dollars to begine with on a proper dry dump plus pump maintenance, still interested?
