Hey everyone, good afternoon. I am in the process of removing my turbo for repair and had a question about body mounts. I did find some threads pertaining to the removal and they covered raising the cab. My question is about the one body mount, driver's rear, that is incorporated into the fuel tank front mounting strap location. I have loosened the other five mounts, but this one appears to be the challenge. I am guessing that the tank needs to be dropped to access it, but the thunder storms rolled in before I could finish inspecting it. So, does anyone have any wisdom on the subject? Once out, the turbo will be going to Russ for the rehab as it started chirping about 25 miles after getting the ip, injector's, Facet pump, cowl induction and gauges installed. Roller coaster day to be sure. Thanks for the input and with no major interruptions, the turbo should be out tomorrow, regardless.

I think all you need to remove is the front cab mounts and lift the cab enough for a 4x4 or 4x6 to fit in the gap. Others will chime in on this.

If you lift just the front of the cab, it will pivot back into the bed as there is only a couple of inches between them at most. Or am I missing something?
