Dodge Repair: Oil pump pick up tube, negative battery cable, pan gasket

Question
Can you tell me how many bolts there are on the pick up tube for 2004 5.7 hemi? Do I need to lift the motor to remove the oil pan?

Answer
REMOVAL
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Install engine support fixture special tool # 8534. Do not raise engine at this time.
For 2WD vehicles, Remove both engine mount to frame through bolts.
For 4WD vehicles, Loosen both left and right side engine mount bracket to mount bolts, and remove the lower bolt on each side. The upper hole in the engine bracket is slotted.
Remove the structural dust cover (1). (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/STRUCTURAL COVER - REMOVAL)
Drain engine oil.
Remove the front crossmember(Refer to 13 - FRAME & BUMPERS/FRAME/FRONT CROSSMEMBER - REMOVAL) .
CAUTION: Only raise the engine enough to provide clearance for oil pan removal. Check for proper clearance at fan shroud to fan and cowl to intake manifold.

Raise engine using special tool # 8534 to provide clearance to remove oil pan.
Remove the nuts from the transmission mount to crossmember.
Using suitable transmission jack, raise the transmission approximately 3 inches off of the crossmember.
NOTE: Do not pry on oil pan or oil pan gasket. Gasket is integral to engine windage tray and does not come out with oil pan.

Remove the oil pan mounting bolts using the sequence above, and remove oil pan.
NOTE: The double ended oil pan studs must be installed in the same location that they were removed from.

Unbolt oil pump pickup tube and remove tube.
