    Putting this motor back in is the most frustrating thing I've ever had to do to a vehicle. Nothing lines up, so I guess I'm going to u bolt the cross member and bring the transmission back an inch so I cna try and line up these motor mounts which just everything I do doesn't seem to even get me...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I did, the passenger side just seems so much higher for no reason, and the mounts aren't lining up, provavly need to finesse it some more to line it up. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Pulled the motor, stuck the pan with new rtv, now trying to align it all back in to bolt up trans and motormount. **** this man it's rough. maybe tomorrow. broke trans cooler lines in the process but everything should be leak free now... Half tempted to pull the trans that's a bit easier to...

    Got the motor up, then realized shit, my carport isn't tall enouhg... took pan off and glued it back on as best as i could with 1100lbs dangling above me in the engine bay. only a couple casualties, Return line on the back of the motor got cut cause It wouldn't come off... Transmission cooler...

    Talk about a pain in the butt to get the turbo out... The slip joint isn't rusted just it doesn't come out really I assume without lifting cab? Either way I'm down to 2 top trans bolts. Torque converter bolts, and the 4 engine mount bolts. Turbo is all loose, starter is off all harness and fuel...

    Lots of bolts on this have been replaced, I'm pretty sure it's been rebuilt at one point, by the fact thay they cut the top bar of the core support and rewelded.... It probably needs a rebuild again but seeing at how easy it is to pull... I might find another 7.3 motor and put fresh pistons...

    Awesome, and yes it was a 6.5... I'll admit it was fully dressed and wet... And yeah that to bolt sucks, I think it is slightly stripped so my 9/16th...? Doesn't fit well I may have to get an open end on it to get it out. Luckily E40D doesn't have a TV cable cause I always hated adjusting...

    Thank you I nearly forgot about that. Are all 3 starter bolts the same? I'm having a son of a bitch of a time trying to get the one between the motor and solenoid thing... Lastly this sounds dumb but are the 2 eyelits safe to pull motor from? I've had a car that had them before and they bent...

    Starter, bellhousing, flex plate botls, power steering, fuel return is all thats left. I can't tell but is the main harness for motor attached to the big transmission plug? If so I guess I gotta get that too. These are fairly easy to pull apart.. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Big gash near oil pan? Or in oil pan?

    My auto has like a drain tube on it. Maybe manual is different? Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Big gash near oil pan? Or in oil pan?

    No problem, it's not a bad idea to pull it off and inspect the clutch, it's 4? 7/16? Or 1/2" just make sure you're not missing part of the ckut h, it'll also show you how much material is left. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Big gash near oil pan? Or in oil pan?

    Not supposed to be like that, is it auto or stick? If it's stick it's possible the clutch blew a part a little bit and wrecked the inspection cover, could be from previous owner though. I wouldn't worry about it if the truck drives fine Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Do not fret thats the flex llate/ flywheel inspection plate. Probably have a bad rear main seal where the oil is coming from Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    I got my 1994 F250 4x4 7.3IDIT Last monday, traded it for my clapped out 12v Dodge Ram 2500 2WD. This truck is 100x more truck than that 12v... Guy wanted his brodozer wheels back so I put the Wheels i had on my Dodge This is how she sits now, currently pulling the motor for pan gasket...

    Cab rust worse than I thought...options?

    Always a good excuse for a road trip! Jk. For a good cab you'll have to travel well away from Wisconsin, just due to the snow and salt. I've used uShip and it's hit or miss, you're trusting easentially a non professional do deliver goods, itll either get there fine or not, and if it arrives...

    Yeah the PO cut the front cross member i guess to remove motor, I was going to pull the 2 accessories with lines ( AC Compressor and PS pump ) remove rad, and fan, and I should have enough room to pull it out, even if I just get the motor high enough where i can sneak my fat ass in there and...

    I have to admit, the community for IDIs is a lot nicer, and more interesting than the 12v forums... 12v forums is just " REMOVE FUEL PLATE, ROAL COAL BOIZ"

    093 ATS Grommet

    Yeah, that's how I felt, I looked at the proper way to do it, and it's essentially Step 1 : Remove Cab Step 2 : Remove Motor Like great, Let me just go get my gantry crane that I have obviously laying around! This looks like ill have more than enough room to pull the motor out, and still...

    Found out differently is an understatement... Oh well, all in the process of learning I guess! my last truck ( 12v ) needed the pan done, and headgaskets, and P pump to be resealed... so just doing turbo gaskets, and oil pan on this thing is easier.. mostly because the motor actually comes out...

    Cab rust worse than I thought...options?

    The least frustrating way to do this would be find a cab from the south, or Arizona. Fixing rust is just a battle of time fighting metal and welders... Looks like a sweet truck though, being ex military it's either in great shape mechanical or fully neglected lol Sent from my LM-G710 using...

    Ah, well I already have the pan off, because I thought it was going to be like every truck I've ever done before, lift motor and it slides out no issue. I guess ill order a front main seal too, luckily rear main is dry as a bone.

    It was definitely leaking at the front hump by the balancer. I could see it drip there was no other leak except the turbo at the rear. I might try to not pull it, just seems like a lot of work, if I can just bash the firewall with the motor and sneak the pan out I rather do that..

    093 ATS Grommet

    Yeah, From what I'm being told there's NO WAY to do the pan without pulling the motor... A guy on FB group has a "upgraded" style grommet that says is better than stock, and it comes with all the other turbo gaskets which I'll need. Seems ill be pulling this motor out, less than a week into...

    Hi just bought this 94 Ford F250 4x4, traded it for my clapped out 12v 2wd Dodge ( yeah yeah, how dare I? I desperately needed 4x4 ) Well I thought the pan was leaking bad, so I dropped that ( big mistake but ill fix that with cork gasket and some fun times ) and looked around and saw a...
