Default Oil pan, rear seal, oil pump service

I am replacing the rear seal, oil pan gasket and oil pump while I have the pan off. Is there anything else I need to replace while I have the oil pan off? I have the inspection cover off the transmission and have read about some flex plate issues. Jeep was running fine, just marking its way.


I also replaced the oil filter adapter O-rings. The big one was flat on 2 sides.


Thanks in advance for the help!

Wouldn't hurt to check the flex plate for cracks and re-torque the fp to tc bolts while your there. Let us know how it turns out, I have the same repairs plus a new front crank shaft seal replacement on the agenda for next weekend.

The FSM does not recommend reusing the oil pickup tube when replacing the pump. I used a Melling pump and Mopar pickup.
