    just be sure you have the right transmission filter for the pan. Measure the depth of the pans, most all trucks have a deep pan from the factory.

    There is no difference because it's a 65. Pretty much all the 99+ 60/65/70 have the same deep pan in the half ton full size trucks. Yes, my Blazer has the flat one that holds ONE quart less than the stepped pan my Denali has. The only other difference is the 99-02 has a drain plug.

    It is a Bee-ooo-atch yes, it does come out 59&#37; of the time with proper procedure.

    If you have lifts like me the drain does not help as I can drop a pan much easier. Chances are that if you have the tools to get it out with some sort of success you also have a lift and this explanation does not help

    Does proper procedure involve a drill and tap & die kit

    Sometimes. Usually (more than half the time) it will come out with a shallow 6-point impact socket and a 1/2" impact. If not, it's big hammer and chisel time.
