an Oil pan rusting so bad that the oil is pouring out of the back of pan..1 quart per month.. seen the pan getting flaky rust on the sides after it came out of warranty and have been doing my own oil changes... dealer never notice a thing. cleaned it up and put a coat of paint... that only allowed it to last another couple years before it started leaking.. that was my Christmas present 2008 nice oil spot in my driveway... now its so bad can keep driving leaks so much will blow it up if taken on a long trip.

Where can I get a replacement oil pan, preferably cast aluminum?
What an absolutely ridiculous problem to encounter. Apparently the "engineer" who came up with this design and material choice was right out of school. Anyone who has ever crawled underneath a car, especially a 4 x4 truck, could see this potential problem from a mile away.
