I'm back! My #%&$* computer took a crap again. One and a half months at the repair shop and I'm back on line. Wish I could afford a new 'puter but things are really tight this year. So you can once more look forward to my wit and wisdom

I believe removal of the bumper,grille, core support, radiator, intercooler and possibly the trans cooler would be enough to get the engine out. I could be wrong here, I've never pulled an engine out of a SD.
Probably make it a lot easier to get at the engine, but will be very time consuming reinstalling everything.
I'd really like to help, to see what it takes to remove one since I'll probably have to remove my engine sooner or later for an oil pan swap. Damned rust......

well...
the hood is definitely coming off for visibility and manuever room, then the fenders are coming off for simlar reasons. if you wanna drive al the way up monday is gonna be the big day for me to lift it out. you are more than welcome to come up to superior if you want to see what it looks like in there.

LOL!
OK, here's proof:
What I did with my Ford truck this Summer
I hope to someday upgrage to a Powerstroke, but untill then I'll keep chugging along with the old 7.3 IDI.
Six 6'X5' bales = 10,000 - 12,000 lbs. I moved 210 bales about 4 miles from this hay field back to my place.
