Quest for the rally.

[GOOSE]

Well, the jewel in in the box Moved the truck into my garage, finished prepping and my help never showed. Time for a solo missionI had enough waiting and couldn't stand to see that engine not in the truck 33minutes later, she is sitting in the motor mount towers and bolted to the bellhousing Think I'll crack open a celebratory beer Everything went smooth, don't think I even cussed twice. Maybe the 3rd time really is a charm

Nice!! I think you need more than just one celebratory beer though. 33 minutes is pretty damned impressive!!

 

[Ididriver]

looks good goose
lets hope this one doesnt go on you to

 

[icanfixall]

Wow... Thats a fast installation but.... You better have two beers. At least....

 

[yARIC008]

Nice work. Hope everything else from here on out goes smooth. Did you remember to put all the bolts into the engine inside the bell housing? I finished everything up one time and had these two giant bolts left over... Had to pull the tranny off to put them in.

 

[alienturtle]

Nice!! its PURRRDYYY!! Hope the rest goes smooth..

Was the black pickup your wheel chuck??

 

[rhkcommander]

Hoping it lasts for you, Most of us know how great it can feel when it works. And how bad when it doesn't!

Good luck and have a cold one for me

Always good to have a spare.

My uncle needed to put new wheels + tires on his wife's tacoma, so he bought another tacoma!

To get that baby over the core support, what "weight setting" did you use on your Cherry Picker? I'm guessing the 500 pound. Bet the old jack was complaining!

1125lbs fully extended The rear was on jackstands so you can clock the trans input shaft and the front tires were aired half way down and you had to work around the hood latch at that. If you air the tires all the way down, the hoist will hit the D60 pumkin and force you to change your course of action, ask me how I know

If you thought the hoist was screaming, you should have heard the engine stand after it was fully dressed That thing flexed more than Arnold did 20 years ago.
