Is pulling motor with cab on possible

Lmgrpowerstroke · Jun 30, 2014

Just as the title states. Is it possible to pull the motor with the cab on.

Yes
Take the turbos off first to make it easier. You have to remove all the radiators and coolers

Yes. It's really not all that difficult either IMO. Can be done without discharging the AC as well.

Glad to hear. Looks like this is in my near future.

HG's popped last night. I don't have access to a lift so I'm going to pull it and do a build

Nice, keep us posted on fun spots for pulling it. I will likely be in the same boat

When I can't lift cab...

I have never pulled a one without lifting the cab. How much time do you guys have in pulling the motor this way?

Lmgrpowerstroke · Jul 15, 2014

All total I had roughly 6 hrs in getting mine out. But I have a single setup so it took me some less time in that area

Do you have to lift the cab up at all? I've heard you have to lift the can a few inches to get the motor out

Lmgrpowerstroke · Jul 15, 2014

Not at all with the turbos pulled

Lifted mine just enough for a few cut 2x4's up front and a blanket between the cab and bed.

To me if you have a lift its not worth the hassle of having to pull the turbos cab on to get the engine out. But if its an ambulance or something that the cab really can't be removed it'll have to happen

I wouldn't even consider it but I have 3 6.0's waiting for cab off and a 6.4 needing a motor asap. Just curious about it but I'm gonna wait for a lift to open up to do the motor swap. Thanks for the info.

Took me 4hrs and a lot of wire for jump starting the motor.. Also pulled off my single turbo... You'll still hit the wall with either the manifolds or the hpfp
