good morning all,

i have an 02 suburban LS with the 5.3 vortec. I have to replace the leaking oil gasket but I was wondering if there was a better custom oil pan for my model? Maybe something billet steel or billet aluminum? I don't like the stock version and the oil filter area might also be kinked. Tightened the new oil filter and it seems to also leak between the lips. Annoying.

maybe someone here has the same dilemma or someone might know someone else who fabricates custom oil pans. Please point me in the right direction. If no one makes it, then I'll just have to replace it with another stock pan. Thanks in advance!

Mileage is at 216xxx. I do maintenance myself. Any more info please ask.
