Engine Out Time ??

[autoaddictions]

About how long does it take to remove the engine in these trucks. Asuming the guy doing it is a decent tech, and has all the tools for the job.? Can you remove the motor with down pipe, turbo, and manifolds still on?? Do you have to pull the trans or can it stay in the truck??? Just trying to get prepared to rebuild. Thanks

It really depends if it's his first time or not. You can leave the manifolds on. take the turbo and downpipe off. Leave the tranny in the truck.

Depending on your mechanical abilty, how old, rusted, and stuck everything is, and how many bodies are wrenching on it, it could be done in a half a day to a day. You probably could in theory pull the motor with turbo and downpipe on, I wouldn't, you'd probably end up taking off the grill and fenders to do it, just pull the stuff off. You can leave the trans in the truck. HTH
