What is involved in removing Oil Pan

[TxBeaux]

I have a 1996 2wd crew cab dually with 5 speed. Can someone tell me what all is involved in order to remove the oil pan?

I have recently removed the oil pan and had no difficulty. Mine is 2wd but with automatic.

Motor mounts never came off the frame mounts. Removed cross-over pipe, inspection shield, and pan literally fell off.

Don't use an oil pan gasket, though. Get the sealer from the dealer.

You guys with the 2wd's have it made. The front diff has to come out on the 4wd's!
