I have the vehicle listed above Denali XL and my oil pan recently cracked. I went to a junkyard and I got an oil pan from a 5.3 Yukon Denali XL will it fit on my 6.0L?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, they are both the same oil pan to answer your question. Would you like me to provide steps on how to replace as well? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Do I have to tighten every bolt to a specific ft pound? Which bolts should I start with? Do I have to use the silicone if I have a brand new gasket?

Hello again.

Do the oil cooler lines not attach in the same area? Both the 5.3 and 6.0 engine motor oil pans are the same. Only difference would be a 2wd or 4x4 difference. Before you add any type of RTV to a gasket I would need to know what type of gasket and brand you plan on using. I would be glad to send the replacement steps to you if needed including torque specifications for the bolts. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

That is crazy! Can you use your cell phone to take pictures of the damage and upload here? I've also attached pictures below of the use of silicone and oil pan torque specifications below. Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Let me know if you have any further questions or info needed about your oil pan replacement. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.
