And my buddy changed his mind yet again tonight. Now, he's not going to lift the body but pull the engine. He's afraid he'll either tweak the body or possibly not get things lined back up just right and it'll end up with a squeak or worse after. I think he's just a giant p#$$y. lol, but I'd rather him be safe than to buy me a new truck. lol

Before you guys make your final decision review this newly updated photo essay.

http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/photographs/index8.php

IMHO, you have many chances of body damage (scratches, dents, etc.) by pulling the engine not to mention all of the hassel and difficulty of working in that very confined engine bay doing that R & R.

However you guys decide to do it, good luck...

You don't 'spose you could get the fire dept. rescue to bring their "jaws of life" to give you a hand?

Got lucky, they said not to mess with it, they're going to send it to a larger place (our lifts wont handle it)

Thanks Brad, I'll print this out and show it to him. I think one of his biggest concerns is that it's just him in this shop. I don't think he wants to do this big a job alone. He's pulled many engines and he's already got most of the top end of mine tore down as it is. He's one of those that likes to stick to what he knows.

Ah, if you're talking about my truck, it is 4x4. But with all the parts I've bought, I couldn't afford a lift anyway.

They only allow so many characters in the sig line, so I had to take that out to fit in Lake Regional Leader.
