2. What about the gaskets Haynes mentions on the filter? You didn;t reference them so I wonder if they were in good shape?
3. When applying the gasket (on the pan), shouldn't you go both inboard and outboard of the screw holes to seal the screw?
4. After you reassemble the pan to the truck, should you let the RTV cure for an hour until it forms a skin before you refill and then flush?
Thanks for your comments. Your post with pics is great and I would not have even tried this without seeing how it's done.
Thanks, Baxter

1. Yes
2. Yes, mine was fine
3. Someone suggested in this thread somewhere that you should. Of course, I didn't and, knock on wood, no leaks so far.
4. Yes, the instructions for the RTV specifically says so. If I remember right, I waited longer than an hour.
Good Luck, let us know how it went.
