Message: [QUOTE="SkySki Jason, post: 35737, member: 1118"] Just jacked the front of cab up a few inches after removing all but the rear cab bolts... :D Actually, the biggest issue was lining up with ZF6 - since the input shaft has to slide so far in, I think it takes better 'alignment' to re-install engine than 4R100. Basically the cab had to come up so the angle of trans was high enough to get input shaft thru clutch and into pilot bearing. :o Somehow, I did this by myself the first time! :badidea: I kept picturing them finding my body after a few days - pinched between engine and frame and my cell phone [I]just[/I] out of reach... :fustrate: After pulling a couple engines now I'm pretty sure I can have one out in under 4hrs without help. I plan to pull the X engine later this year for studs, springs, injectors, etc. The 'extra time' to yank engine is well worth the lack of frustration (and lack of backache!) for me. Fwiw, there is no need to pull hood or header panel/condensor, etc and if you'll set A/C compressor off to the side - ya don't even have to evacuate/recharge A/C system!! That reminds me - engine out is a GREAT time to put a ball valve on the heater core supply hose and get COOOOLDER A/C in the summer! :D [/QUOTE]
