    I've got a damaged oil pan on a D16 that wasn't properly repaired by the previous owner, so it has a small leak(less than a gallon over 25,000 miles, but leaves a small stain when parked overnight). I'm finally planning on having the pan replaced at the next oil change. Is there anything that it would be a good idea to have the shop inspect or perform while the pan is off? The pan will take like 7-10 days to get in when I order it, so I'd like to try and preorder everything that I might need so it can all be done at the same time.

    How many miles on the truck?
    If the pan is going to come off anyway, I would look into doing rods & main bearings.

    Yup what @Bakerman said, rods, mains, thrust bearing, maybe even the oil pump. Not sure what else is in the basement of a D16.

    It will have around 1,000,000 miles when I plan on getting it done. I've owned it since 740,000 miles. It has good oil pressure, doesn't make any strange noises, and pretty much acts the same as when I bought it. I think I've idled it overnight one time when the starter was going out, and it gets new oil and filters every 25k.

    I'm mainly trying to fix the oil leaks. Is changing the rods and bearings going to turn it into a $10,000+ repair?

    I would just CHECK the rod and main bearings. With that kind of mileage, no sense in changing out hard parts when it may need an inframe within the next couple years. Clean the oil pump pick up, check bearing wear, visually inspect deposit amounts (if any). Gives you an idea of weather or not an inframe is sooner rather than later. Also, personally would ONLY have this done in a "clean" shop. Don't need Billy Bob Jr. dropping the main caps in the kitty litter and slapping them back on and buttoning her up.

    Definitely good idea to do rods and main bearings. And oil pump inspection or replacement. And while your at it get the top end reset again also. That’ll give you something to run on for another few years. If nothing out of norm discovered you should not hit $10K Bill.
