4.9L Oil Pan and Gasket replacement
Well I have tried to search this forum for this but yall know how this 
search engine works on this forum! I was wondering the steps necessary to replace my oil pan and gasket (tilting engine, removing exhaust,paint oil pan with bed-liner, if i do have to tilt the engine remove fan from clutch, etc..) I found the oil pan at 1aauto for $50-60 http://www.1aauto.com/1A/OilPanEngin...tm_content=EOP and I found a one piece gasket at rockauto for $20 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...S34601R-397465 Should I also replace my oil pump while I have it off ( i usually stick with the "if it aint broke don't fix it" motto) Thanks everyone for the help!
The $500-700
to have a shop have it done sounded CRAZY to me!

I used google to search. Just put in the search terms and then add the site you want to search on, in this case use "f150forum.com" (with quotes)
I'm afrait it will not. It takes a bit more space to do it than it it looks it will take. But you may try to lower the pan and replace the gasket without completely removing the pan. It will not be very easy though, byt they say it is possible. On my 2WD 4.9 it seems possible to be done that way (haven't tryed it yet).

Ahh gottcha. Sounds to me like you will be tilting the engine for this. Or shelling out $700.
I spoke with my mechanic and he said it is a real b!t<h of a job. And it would take his mechanic and occupy a bay all day long. But mine is a 351.

lost my Car again...
I plan on changing out my oil pan and gasket as well it seems to me if you jack up the front end loosen the engine mounts a tad and you should just unbolt and slide it out. as for the oil pump why not you won't have to worry about it for another (insert you millage here) and would be a nice thing to have nice and clean. I my self am going to have my uncle help me out with this due to i dont have any jack stands and he has a lift
