Seems like they would've designed some kind of bolted-on crossmember type of system, to allow access to the lower engine without have to lift the entire body. Support the engine and transmission, unbolt crossmember(s), do the work, then reassemble. Unless the structural integrity would be compromised?
Just seems like two engineering teams had no cross-communication while designing the truck, crazy...

Here I thought you decided to replace it with a RAM. LOL
It appears that removing the body is a Ford thing since all their Pickups require it to really be able to work on the engine.

Truth be told…if I had it to do all over again…I think I would have bought a RAM….but at this point…I think I’m in too deep to change directions.

Rerouting my CCV fixed my upper oil pan gasket. Been there and done that with a 6.7 Cummins and I will never own another Ram, not trying to start a Ram vs Ford war here. I'm the one that started the massive original killer grid heater thread over on the other forum when mine failed.

Ram, buy a new one, and get an old one at the same time, Ram, the design that never changes. Hey look, you bought your dads old truck! What? Its brand new? o'rly? Only way to tell the age of a Ram today is by the amount of rust on it.
ok I'm done rambashing
for now.

If you stand next to a Ram you can hear it rusting.
