Pullin the engine without taking off condenser

[ecc_33]

Is it possible to take out the engine without taking off the A/C condenser. I don't have anything to evacuate the system and don't really want to leave the system open for a year lol. I was going to pull the whole front clip but I am a one man shop so its hard to do somethin like that by yourself. Just wonderin Thanks, Eric

yes, unbolt it from the motor and swing it aside, remove everthing but that little black radiator piece up from, you can swing it out of the way as well when you pull the motor, i have done it.

I have pulled my motor with only removing the top piese on the rad suport i swear they did that just for pulling the motor, i had to take the turbo down pipe off to do it but i got it done.the motor hung from the cherry picker for 5 days in the engine bay (had to work the reg job also)before i figured it outi took the harmoic ball. off as well of coarse

Yes, with the top rad support out it can be done. You can get into the leading edge of the seam under the cowl with the rear of the engine if you don't go slow....

cool thanks guys, got the front diff out and started on the stuff in front of the engine. got the radiator out. P steering pump is off to the side. TCM ECM is out. grill. fan etc. made good progress but i just picked up some side work so this is going on the back burner for now

Why did you pull the front diff ?

im putting the 3.73's back in. It sucks drivin it to work with 4.56's. I also am going to pull the E locker out since im not truck pulling anymore

 

[ripmf666]

What do you want for the locker I have someone that might buy it from you how many miles on it?

 

[ecc_33]

E locker has a little less than 6,000 miles on it. Custom8726 has first dibs. I don't have it out yet but would like to get 550 shipped to the lower 48. I would say thats reasonable I want to pull it out and inspect it before selling it also. It has always been flawless but just want to make sure its still in like new condition. Thanks!

Id like to get inline for the e locker if those others arent interested
