Keith Browning Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 We've seen one or two in our shop. If you read the manual, you will have to remove the oil pan, pick-up tube and the valve covers as well. You will end up having to pretty muck strip this thing to get it out with the body on the frame. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif If there's a vehicle that is asking to have the body raised to do this job it's the Econoline. And by the way, replacing injectors can be nearly as painful in chassis. You either will need to lower the engine by removing the mounts (easier said than done) or lift the body several inches. I don't know how you are going to remove this engine with the body on and no lifting brackets. The one for the 6.0L is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Schnell Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 lifting cabs on e series isnt that bad either, especially if it is a work truck with no seats in it. basically it is the same procedure as an f-150, with a few wiring differences. the only trick is the lower part of the body mounts are not locked into the frame like the other body styles, they have a 21mm nut on the bottom you need to have an assistant hold while pulling the body bolt from the top. lifting the cab on an e series sick-0 is the only way to go for replacement or major work.
