2008 6.7 , Can the engine be pulled without lifting the cab ? the cowl and valve cover look very close ? or is there any tricks to it ? thanks

 

Nobody has pulled an engine on one of these ?

 

My son has pulled his 5.9L on his 06 truck. He removed the entire cooling system along with the front grill guard and then removed the valve cover and head before removing. Just to make the engine lighter by removing the head. I believe he re-installed the engine with the head assembled to the engine but no valve cover on it. Hope this helps?

How come you're pulling your motor?

 

siezed up , does why change how it's removed ?

 

I wouldn't think so. If you gotta pull I wouldn't think why would make a difference. I was just curious. Don't hear of anyone having to pull one very often.

 

LOL.I bought the truck with the bad engine , only 49000 miles on it , previous owner ,had a employee driving it , he never changed the oil in 25000 miles , so the story goes ? I got a smokin deal on the truck so I am fixing it , I have never pulled a one either , or one this new , thanks

 

Yes it can be done, I havent done it but theres vids on you tube I believe. Engine is heavy 1100 pounds I believe. Use a good lift and take your time should be ok.

 

Pull the whole front off the truck. Bumper, Condenser, CAC, radiator, etc. You will have to deal with the front lower cross member. You can spread the frame apart to get this crossmember out or slide it to one side and cut it between the 2 bolt holes once it has been slide to one side. Hope this helps.
