espicially BEFORE they install the cab. to get the engine out i had to cut the front "hood" area out. cut the core support, remove all aceesories, remove intake and cooling passages. peel up the floor boards like a a sardein can, remove brake master cylinder, wiggle, jiggle, and pry the dip stick tube out that was installed between the AC lines for some reason, and i did NOT want to evac this thing.. remove the motor mount bolts, jack the trans till it hits the floor, the remove the motor mount apators form the engine, then remove the motor mounts form the frame, then pry, pull, cuss, and pull some more, insert a big bar here and there, an dthen the dilapidated engine that it has was laying on the ground the powerstroke i did in a E350 was way better than this.
Tool Truck Sounds like it would been all most as easy to lift the cab & box. Don't sound like any fun to me. Good luck putting it all back together and making it all work right and look good.
yeah I still think thats a bad job to have and goold luck with it all if you havent already finished it up.
cause its a 6.5L, and parts where hanging out the bottom......... yes, takign the box off would have been easier if it wasnt so heavly loaded.. its a tool truck, so generators, heaters, LP tanks, 4 batteries....... would havea made for a hackache, plus would have to unload all the tool boxes and tools to lift it without hurting the body......
oh, and i drove it around our shop once i got it towed there even with 1 rod completlty broke off the crank!!
