DieselD Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So I have a customer pay job I may be getting ahold of that i would like to try this new found glory on. How does this procedure compare to the standard slts on labor hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just helps you out when you are stuck not lifting the cab. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I put a rag in front of the casters, works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekanik Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The next time I have to remove a 6.4L I think I'm doing it this way. I liked Benny Hill as a kid but my mom sai it gave her nightmares and she really didn't want me watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFanaticTony Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hello, just wondering if the chain was mounted on the front turbo hold down clamp only or did you use both. Or exactly how did you chain her up? Thanks for any help i have a complete on a tow truck and want to use this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Kelsoe Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hello, just wondering if the chain was mounted on the front turbo hold down clamp only or did you use both. Or exactly how did you chain her up? Thanks for any help i have a complete on a tow truck and want to use this method. I put the chain underneath both hold down clamps. Holds the engine level and I have no issues getting anything to line up going back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I used both mounting bolts, in the 3rd picture on the 1st page there is a decent shot of the chain going over the turbo. One thing you will notice right off, the turbo bolts will not fit through those chain links. I used a couple of those largish screw together link thingys on the chain for the bolts to go through. It bends them making them a one time use so don't spend too much on them if you get some at a hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFanaticTony Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 AWESOME! Thanks for the tips fellas. Only thing i can see being a pain is the alignment going back in. Can starter motor, motor mounts, come out with assembly? And can the down pipe stay attached to the rest of the exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmlew Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The chain is bolted down with the 2 large turbo pedestal bolts. AWESOME! Thanks for the tips fellas.

FordFanaticTony Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks everyone it is my first complete and on a towtruck to boot. You guys helped me make it happen thank you. IMG_1977.jpeg Hope the pic goes through from my mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Got er out and on the stand this morning. A little tight, I had to go a little higher on the partial cab lift than I thought. Worked well though, thanks for the tip on the chain between the pedestal bolts.I have a 6.0 head bolt I welded an eyelet on but I would only trust it lifting a shortblock, not a complete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy_M Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just pulled a 6.4 complete cab on last week, waiting for parts now unfortunately. I used 2 6.0 head bolts and the OTC 7100 Lifting eye set, set both lifting eyes so the hook from the hoist looped thru both eyes and picked it up and out. Using the lifting eyes I didn't have to modify any chain links, and I have 2 sets of the lifting eyes that I use for lifting a lot of things, they've picked a complete Detriot series 60 so a little 6.4 is nothing to em. One set has the original 1/2 hole, the other I have drilled out to 5/8" for larger bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I might be a little nervous using those. I hear they stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
