Too close to the bolt. Fix it.

Not the best pic but shows the dent

You don't think if it's not leaking I should be ok?

[txchevy4ever]

Man I don't know... for me, that's a good bump right up against the threads. I guess if it doesn't leak it's fine, but I think, over time, it will get worse IMO.

If it isn't leaking and the plug comes out and goes in fine, leave it be. The would be no measurable loss of oil volume from that lil ol dent. I've had much much larger dents. That dent isn't anywhere near restricting the pickup.

4hrs labor!!! You do realize that is the lower pan. Your buddy can probably do it in an hour.

Ya i was hopeing on putting some sort of cover because im sure if it gets wacked hard again it wouldn't be good

[ndogg ct]

Ya i was wondering that...so the lower pan is seperate from upper??

[Spurshot]

It may have been whacked during transport to the dealer on a car hauling truck.

First oil change. I bet you bought it like that

[ndogg ct]

Ya buckwild even my buddy said they make things 10 times worst than they really are..i agree on 4 hrs labor i really didnt understand it but didnt question it because there is no way i am getting it done there

I was wondering the same thing but how can i ever prove that..i definitely didnt whack anything personally

Its dented right by drain plug.they quoted me almost $700..to me it looks ok,but am i crazy risking it??

 

 

Service advisor said 4 hrs labor..my buddy that works at dealer but wasnt present because hes on vacation said i should be fine because oil pump is in total different locationvand i texted him pic and he said as long as drain plug came out and went back without issue no worries. .i hope its ok because im not shelling out $700 on a brand new truck

 

$700? The lower pan (the dented black bit) as long as there is no damage to the upper pan section is $50. The frame crossmember right underneath it has to come out which is 4 bolts. Thats it. Sounds like they quoted you both the upper and lower pan which to do the upper part you have to pull the front diff, starter, that crossmember and the steering gear.

Good to know newdude..ya im sure they wanted to charge me for both..the only damage i was told was the bump by the bolt.

I would ask if your getting dinner and a movie with that, cuz it certainly sounds like your getting f**ked.

_{I would not worry about it at all, just ruff it up a little and hit it with some black spray paint.}
