I never understood the mentality of the design engineers. They must all drive a Tarus. Who in their right mind would do this to a truck/car/van? I mean an oil pan that you need to remove the engine? It's not like oil is important and needs to be changed on a regular basis. Thats like locking the hood shut so only a ford tech can unlock it. There is no logic to this. Jim I would stick with the Ford or a Dodge. Chevy just totaly sucks monkey balls. I would just ask next time how easy it is to service the thing. I'm sure there are a shit load of people who own that same truck and now are very very pissed. I don't blame them.
