05 f150 supercrew cab removal problem
went to pull engine on 05 f150. can't get to most everything around engine. motor mount was a pain on drivers side. dealer had replace torque converter at 36,400, miles (4 bad injectors on pass side wiped out converter and starter). funny how a recall on the injectors for that year didn't cover mine and had 2 more go out 6 months later. anyway dealership over tightened converter bolts and can't get half broke loose. Needless to say the cabs coming off. Should have been 2 hrs. but here I set with everything off and the frigging cab won't break free from frame. bolts and nuts are off from inside and underneath of cab and front end. what gives.

Pulling the cab is easier than pulling the engine out the top. Under the hood disconnect: steering shaft, ABS connector, master cylinder and connector, leave the lines connected just lay the master to the side on the engine, brake booster hose, vapor management valve hoses, battery cables, both front speed sensors, a/c line at accumulator and near washer reservoir, remove fan from engine and lay it in fan shroud, both rad hoses, remove bracket for air intake tube, remove both hood stops in front at bottom of grill and the 8mm bolts holding the painted bumper section to the chrome section, disconnect both fog lights and free the harness from the bumper, remove 2 cab nuts on either side of the rad support, disconnect engine and trans PCM connectors. Under the truck disconnect: parking brake cable, harness connector underneath plastic cover on driver's side, ground strap on passenger side, you can either remove the nuts holding the cab mounts to the frame or go inside and get under the carpet to remove the cab bolts. Also don't forgrt to disconnect the exhaust, torque converter nuts, engine mount bolts, lower bell housing bolts, and starter b/c once the cab is in the air you cant lift the frame. It sounds like a lot but once you get started it will prob take 2 hrs to have the cab in the air. Just lift it slowly and have someone watching for anything still connected. good luck
