V-10 Engine swap tools
Hey, Im thinking of doing a V-10 triton engine replacement (swap in the same) on a 2003 F250 and want to make sure I have everything I need together before I start, wondering if anyone can give me a list of tools beyond the basics and anything else I might need? Thanks Ian

I have pulled the 5.4 from a 2003 F250 2 different times, the first time I took the cab bolts out and jacked the cab up on some 6x6 blocks, the 2nd time I had a above ground lift and lifted the cab off the frame,
a above ground lift and raise the cab is the way to go on these trucks if possible.
No other special tools that I remember, one of the worst parts is unplugging all the connectors without damaging them, it seems like every one has a different latching scheme and you can usually not really see what you are doing, the ABS module was particularly difficult

I've never lifted a cab to pull a 5.4, a 6.8 or a 7.3 Powerstroke. I don't even take the hood off or remove the upper radiator support. A 6.0 is a different story altogether.
A couple things tools that make it easier are about 2 feet worth of 1/2" drive extensions and some flex head ratchets. Also helps to have a cutoff wheel and maybe a reciprocating saw on standby for the exhaust manifold to Y pipe studs.

Medium skilled, Ive done brakes, including calipers, oil, lowering springs, spark plugs all before, I pick things up fast. Im doing it at my bosses shop and theyre a little more skilled than me, We have most basic tools (landscaping shop with 3 trucks) Budget is around $250-500 for tools. Reusing fluid if we can.
