Has anyone tilted the cab and jacked the engine up so that they could get the upper pan out. Just wondering if this is possible or even worth it to try.

No. I’ve always dropped the trans out.

The upper pan is sandwiched between the block, I am finding it kind of hard to believe that doing it that way would even be possible. To slide that fucker out, YOU need the trans out.......am I missing something????

I think guys are doing a partial cab lift that will give enough height to jack the engine up far enough to drop and remove the upper pan. With what needs to be disconnected to do that it would be quicker than pulling the trans. Cant say first hand though.

I have taken cab off and done it that way once. I had heard about guys saying it was a great way to do it. I had a f550 I couldn't lift and decided to give it a shot that way. After doing it that way my conclusion was it works Ok but not worth it. I previously have removed engine when I was unable to lift.

Yes, it works and you can save time. I actually just did it for the first time. A partial cab lift will allow you to get the pan out with the transmission in place. I didn't have help or any notes so I had to figure out the details - I disconnect NOTHING to lift the cab, removed all cab mount bolts but the rear which I loosened and lifted the cab enough to get two 2X4's between the front mount and cab. That still did not give me enough room so I had to disconnect the trans mount and jack it up as well. and the pan juuuuust squeaked out. The next one I will remove all cab mount bolts and raise the cab evenly which should provide the extra space. I never did this repair in book time... I did with the cab lift.

Did you put the 2x4 on edge in front or flat?

On the flat - two of them stacked. Any higher then you have to start disconnecting stuff.

I just completed. I took all cab bolts out put 2x4 flat under front and rear cab mounts. I was unable to get the pan out even with trans pushed up. I put the front 2x4 on edge and pushed the engine up then got the pan out. It was a tight fit but got it done. Link to commentShare on other sites
I also noted that cleaning the block was not really any more difficult with the transmission in place. The usual fastidious approach to cleanliness applies. And on that note, I usually start the job by getting it to operating temp and putting it on the lift and draining the oil, removing the oil filter and draining the coolant before I go home. I also prefer allowing the sealant extra time to set up... over night. God this engineering/money saving blunder pisses me off. It's the new millennium. Ford should have figured out how to seal a fucking engine by now.

Are you guys checking for excessive crankcase pressure when you do them? I had one come back less than 10k later and it was worse than before. I popped the oil cap off with it running and there was enough pressure there that it went pop when I did.

I do - especially the high engine hour/idle hour most of which are municipal, state or public utility trucks. They all get a new CCV as per TSB 19-2142 TSB 19-2142.pdf

I replace ccv on everyone.

Is it normal for a 6.7 PowerStroke to leak oil?When your 6.7L Power Stroke diesel truck starts leaking oil, the most likely culprit is the crankcase vent, or CCV, filter. That's right. This relatively small part can cause a whole lot of havoc once it gets dirty.
How much does it cost to fix an upper oil pan leak?What is the average oil pan leak repair cost? The average cost of replacing an oil pan gasket is roughly between $400 and $500, according to RepairPal. The cost of labor is projected to be a majority of the cost between $300 and $400, with parts costing about $120.
Is there an upper and lower oil pan gasket?A vehicle's oil pan gasket is located between the upper flange of an engine's oil pan and the lower lip of an engine's block. This gasket prevents oil leakage from around the oil pan's mounting surface and is often composed of rubber or cork material.
Who makes the 6.7 PowerStroke engine?Since the 2011 introduction of the 6.7 L Power Stroke V8, Ford has designed and produced its own diesel engines. During its production, the PowerStroke engine range has been marketed against large-block V8 (and V10) gasoline engines along with the General Motors Duramax V8 and the Dodge Cummins B-Series inline-six.
