After Driving across a dip, my oil pan is cracked! So how hard it is to change oil pan? Thanks

It's easy. I had to do mine, due to a *small* disagreement with a jacktsand and set of ramps.
Just be careful not to break any of the bolts holding the pan on. You may also want to consider changing the oil pump/pickup/screen while you're in there. I think you might have to swing the swaybar out of the way, but thats about it.

I didn't even use a gasket. Some require one, some don't....thin bead of RTV works fine.
IIRC I paid $80 for a used pan. Actually when it came in, it was the whole darn thing...upper and lower, oil cooler attached...etc. So now I have spare parts, I win.
