Pulled my 1st cab

[blk smoke lb7]

Well i never wanted to pull a cab on any truck but here it is 06 6leaker f 250 you cant do heads on this without pulling the cab.My truck is next for gaskets and the cab is going to be pulled on it also.Then we have another 06 F250 to do,going from not wanting to do any to doing a few .

Scott,
Your garage looks like shit, pick it up.:roflmao::thumb: Just kidding

I've heard thats the way to do it. I'll be purchasing a car lift when we buy a house :thumb: Keep up the good work.

You can do studs and gaskets without pulling the cab I know personally and that's why I havev a lift now. You have to pull the front clip apart and remove the heater/evap core box to do it but it can be done.

ford dealer in my town is so used to working on those shitty motors they can do a cab in 45 mins.
I prefer a truck that doesn't have to have that done at least one if not more times haha.

My cieling is only 10'6",works for me.i can still remove a trans,lift a cab .....i wish it was taller but it works.Its a pain in the ass to pull the cab but dam is it nice for working on the engine.

I bet,if you do alot of them you get pretty quick at it after awhile.ive done so many cavalier 2.4 motors and transmissions i can have them out really fast.And im with you i want nothing to do with lifting the cab if i dont need to.

Had a few friends that tried running the lift and dimpled the drywall on the ceiling,got to run it all the way up to be able to work under it.

It did go pretty fast for the 1st time.Its so nice to have 360* access to the motor,its getting an egr delete exhaust oil cooler rebuilt and of coarse head studs and the heads redone so having the cab off is a hugge plus.

Very nice.....how long did it take? And did you remember to remove the radio antenna? Lol

Well I was taking my time I started at 11 on Fri worked on it till 3.and Chris got here at 630 then he and I got back in time it and we had the cab off at 10 heads were off at 1130.

Nice lift!!!

I have the exact same one. Direct Lift Pro 9F from greg smith equipment, right??

I love the thing...yeah its a floor-plate lift but I have a limited ceiling just like you so I had to get a floor plate lift. But The thing is solid and wayyy overbuilt. Its supposedly rated at only 9,000lbs but Ive seen other 10,000/12,000lb lifts that didnt look as solidly built as the Direct Pro 9F..

You got that right Ben! its an awesome lift ive lifted a cclb dooley with a full 85 gallon transfer tank with no problem and i know it was way over what i was suposed to be lifting with all the crap in the bed.Sadly greg smith doesnt handle direct lift anymore,now they handle Atlas lifts and they arent as tough or as cheap as the dirct lift.Greg Smith said Direct lift was getting to expensive so they switched to Atlas.

Yep....I wish they still carried Direct Lift.

The Direct Lifts as you know, are actually Rotary lifts with a different name sticker on them.

As a matter of fact, the Pro 9F that you and I have is technically ALI/ETL rated (the strenuous additional tests/certification that only the best automotive lifts pass/go-through), even though Greg Smith didnt advertise it. Its because the "Direct Lift" branded version doesnt have the ALI/ETL sticker on it, BUT the Rotary Revolution RTP9 is ALI/ETL certified. The RTP9 is the physically-identical (even the instruction manuals and part numbers are all the same between the Direct and Rotary Revolution), but Rotary-branded version of the Direct Lift Pro 9F that we have.

So that should make you feel even better about your Direct Lift.
