Can anyone tell me if the intake plentium needs to be removed on a 5.0, 4x4 to jack the engine, for a oil pan replacement.

Thanks, I was going to try and jack the engine first before removing the plentium as a last resort. I got the info out of a repair manual to remove the intake, and it seemed strange for a oil pan gasket. It looks like there is enough room? Thanks again!!!

The oil pump will be your only "hang up."
