Good lookin truck you've got started. Wish mine was in that condition lol! I'm looking forward to the 8.1 oil pan install. Is it deeper than the 7.4?

Re: 1999 Chevrolet Silverado k3500 cc dually lifted

They both are 6 quart pans. I'm curious too. No real advantage. Steel will bend when something hits it. Cast aluminum will crack.

FYI, its not a Silverado.

Nice truck though. Some paint on the hood and the front flares and it would look great.

Re: 1999 Chevrolet Silverado k3500 cc dually lifted

thanks everyone for the encouraging words. i prefer the aluminum pans is the only factor. no real advantages. as tall as this truck is and with the lift kit structural under the pan its very unlikely i would hurt the pan ever.

Re: 1999 Chevrolet Silverado k3500 cc dually lifted

i was installing new moog balljoints today, uppers and lowers, and i noticed the a arm bushings are shot. so i called around and none of the local dealers had them in stock, called to see if any shops had a prothane kit... no luck. they all said we can have them by tues... lol. dont want the truck down for that long. so i had some 3" poly round stock on the shelf, took some measurements and chucked it up in the lathe and made my own... about an hour later i had them installed on the truck.
