Pulling OBS engine

[2005F250]

I got a 95 PSD today :yay: but it needs a new dipstick tube assembly piece that goes on the pan :banghead:. The current one is leaking oil and the threads are stripped. I'm gonna get the engine pulled and while it's out is there anything else I should replace/add? I'm not leaning towards performance parts but mostly OEM parts. I'm thinking fix the pan, new glow plugs, and maybe the up-pipes. While the engine is out I'm also thinking a 3" downpipe. The truck is a 95 F250 PSD 5 speed 4WD 200K miles 100% stock. Just gotta fix the oil, clearcoat it, Dana 60 it, and limo tint. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

I would look long an' hard at that DMF clutch and think about a single mass like a southbend or valair whilr you got it apart. at the very least a new pilot bearing. check the throwout bearing. down pipe for sure. up pipe gaskets maybe

sorry...no offense...my $.02 only

I still haven't got this done and was hoping it get it done a few weeks ago but the passanger side TTB hanger broke off the cross member and I have the Dana 60 in it but no brakes. I have the DP but gonna wait on converting the clutch to a SMF setup since the oil pan fix is gonna cost a really shiney pretty penny. Is there an OEM SMF setup I can install?

No I don't think so. but the factory DMF clutch is quieter and should last a good long time if you're gonna keep the truck pretty stock. I think lots of folks use the SMF for better hookup with performance mods (less moving parts to get blown apart)
