Was wondering how the go about replacing the v10. Does the engine come out the front?? I have heard of techs taking the body off to do extensive work.

 

The folks who do this often have a cradle that can lift the cab or body up and out of the way... at "flatratetech" dot com they have a step by step cab and body removal check list... it is possible to remove the motor and trans up and out the front but requires more time and effort they claim.

Bottom line is there are less things to remove or unbolt to lift the cab then there are to get every thing totally out of the way or off to yank the motor out

 

only other way is unbolting and removeing half the nose to slide it out the front. which can be done.

 

On excursions ,remove the nose and rad support.
