    I'm doing the oil pan on a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia with the DD13 engine. I put a jack in between the pass. side frame and front leaf spring but it's still hitting the front crossmember. any suggestions would help a lot. Thanks

    I always jack up both sides. If you have the bolt in brace at the rear of motor, it has to come out also.

    on the cascadias I've never had to even jack it up and I've always left the crossmember under the rear of the pan. but this time it's only hitting the very front of the pan but a 1/2". I think the front crossmember could be bent maybe?

    Pull the cross member or put a jack in between leaf and frame
