Don't shoot the messenger, hope someone runs with this and gets it to work

Shop installed the 2018 metal pan only to realize the 2017 oil pickup tube is a tad too long and hits the new pan

Looked up various upstream part numbers, and they are all different

Truck is a couple days away from making a long road trip, so I couldn't risk being stuck on the side of the road

It's doable, but someone needs to mod the pickup tube or see what other parts need to change to make this happen

This is good news. I watched a youtube video as I was curious how much needed to happen with the skid plate to change the oil. When I saw that plastic plug I was not excited.

Did you give up one the install then I take it? Or did you manage to figure out what was needed to swap to the metal oil pan?

Do you have the truck? If so, crawl under there and see if yours is metal or plastic. Mine was built at the end of February and it has the metal oil pan.
