oil pan change ?

can i jack the motor far enough up to get the oil pan out, or do i have to do it like a ford and pull out the engine?
pan is rotted out, truck is a 1 ton 2wd auto. 2000 ish i think.
trans also has to come out of the truck, will this help me at all for doing the pan in chassis?
thanks,

 

i thought this place was overrun with cummins guys?

 

Bueler........Bueler.........Bueler?
trans is out, doesnt take to much to pop off the trans adaptor now?
pans coming off tommrow..........
by the way, those stupid trans cooler lines on the passanger side of the block suck!

 

Pop the motor mounts and lift it enough to get to the oil pick up tube bolts. They aren't in a nice place to get to. Then you pull the pan and pick up tube together.
