No, don't really need anything. Just curious what he's gonna do with it.

The stuff I need would cost too much to ship anyways. Although my sloppy steering is starting to get on my nerves now...

I want to kill the Son of a witch at ford who came up with the design for this truck, its stupid. I am having a time trying to get it all apart, George I appreciate your comment I will probably start working on taking the whole front end off. But I assume just undo the engine and undo the tranny from there brackets and just jerk it out? I need help cause this is seriously new to me, to much ****.

Thanks to are Best Buddy on here named William, I went to Jim's website and read his engine removal guide, and it made alot more since. Also want to thank George. My new plan now is to get the front end off the truck, then pull do whats need to be done, and just pull the engine and tranny as one big *** unit. I appreciate the help guys, and I now see how I should do this. I owe big thanks you to George, Jim, and William.

once you get the front end off, you have all the room in the world to work. not a very good pic, but this is how my engine came out....

i left all the accessories, wiring,turbo,, hoses,etc... connected. disconnect the main harness on the driver side, and the under hood wiring for the alt and ac.

Sounds like you have a good plan Jesse.

I think my steering box is getting worn out or something. It just has a lot of slack in it.
