Just recently purchased my truck back the 2nd to last w/e of May with only 18,000 miles on her... Noticed some oil kinda "sweating", I guess I'd call it, around the oil pan a few days after I got it home... It was not dripping down on my driveway, like I said kinda sweating around the oil pan... Hmmm I thought, maybe someone didn't tighten up the oil drain bolt enough, no biggie... Took it to the local Dodge place in town here b/c it is still under warranty... After they looked at it and even showed me it wasn't the drain bolt, it was the oil pan gasket leaking... The real main seal had been replaced back in late '05 with less than 15,000 miles on it under warranty at another Dodge place in NC...I've read on here that that's not terribly uncommon with the oil pressure these trucks maintain... Anyway long story short, they were suppose to replace the gasket today and about 1pm today they call me and tell me that the crossmember underneath the oil pan which has to be removed in order the access the oil pan and remove it is welded in place now, not bolted in like it should be!!!!!!!!!! Looking for info about this if indeed someone has stripped out the bolts off it and welded it in place now or if it is actually welded in from factory or what???
