Here’s a link to the Fumoto site. Mine is just like the one pictured at the top left of page. Only difference is I bought an aluminum crush seal instead of the blue gasket one pictured. I installed one of these a couple of years ago on the wifes Honda S2000. They work good. The L nipple is removable and I use a rubber cap over the end nipple after I’m finished with the oil change to keep any debris from getting in the hole.

true cool i use the #4590

Postby Shawner - I figured that if I had to drop the pan again, might as well install a new pan with a drain plug in it so I also ordered a Dorman 265-811 tranny oil pan. On my 2007 Silverado classic (4.8L 4x4), it fit perfectly. Plus, it was only $12.50!

Dorman 265-811 Transmission Oil Pan $38 at amazon

I installed this pan on a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer with a 4L60E automatic and the fitment was absolutely perfect. Even though it is deeper than the original pan, it still clears the frame rails so no worries about bottoming out on it.

I did however notice it doesn’t take a whole lot more fluid than the stock despite being deeper – this is neither good nor bad.

THE PAN DOES NOT COME WITH A GASKET

You will need a FelPro TOS 18663 which is a much better gasket than you will find in any filter kit.

Remove and re-install the drain plug before you install the pan because it’s way too tight from the factory. It takes a 17mm bolt.

Also consider changing your transmission fluid to Valvoline Max Life which seems to work best in this transmission.

Exactly. I got Rhino brand rated at 15K lb. I have 4 of them. I put one under each tire of my 2500 and drive it on up. Not a single worry that they will not support the pickup. allows me a easy way to check out the entire underside when I change oil and do lube job. I got mine at Northern Tool in Des Moines, but they are available anywhere. Rhino ramps come in various weight ratings. Get what you think is best and have fun!

I am a stauch supporter of Fumoto drain valves. I have them on everything from compact tractors to commercial semi trucks. All my vehicles get one at the first oil change. I have had them on Jeeps that went thru some real nasty stuff regularly, and my pickups all have to deal with a lot of off road ag terrace and washout crossings, corn stalks and sticks shoved up into every nook and cranny. I have yet to have a Fumoto valve even look like it had been subjected to severe punishment. Been using them since the mid 1990’s.

This is the 11 points.

Drivers side, Upper ball joint
Drivers side, Outer tie-rod end
Drivers side, Lower ball joint
Drivers side, Inner tie-rod end
Drivers side, Pitman arm (at relay rod)
Passengers side, Idler arm (bottom)
Passengers side, Idler arm (top)
Passengers side, Inner tie-rod end
Passengers side, Lower ball joint
Passengers side, Outer tie-rod end
Passengers side, Upper ball joint

The bottom ball joint zerk is hard to see. It’s on the side, facing backwards.

This is for a 4WD I am not sure if 2WD is different.

It is easy to miss the Pitman arm and the two on the idler arm assemblies. Their tucked up high and hard to see.
