Installation was a breeze, too - relatively speaking. Turns out that the engine's center of gravity is really close to under the front turbo mounting bolt - so it lifted nice and straight out of the vehicle. I put a loop in the other end of the chain and started the lift. I then used a 6.0L head bolt in the same hole, and put the bolt through the last link of my sho-nuff chain. So, I took the turbo heat shield off and removed the front turbo mounting bolt. I would not have had clearance to use the provided hooks. Now, for stringing the engine up on a chain. The turbos and the oil pan can stay in place. I left the hole empty during engine installation. I also found that I damaged the EGRTA sensor - clearance was insufficient at the firewall. Two errors - I ended up having to separate the steering shaft to clear the horizontal EGR cooler - found that during the lift. I stuffed a piece of 4x4 on the rear body mounts, and stacked 4x4 with 2x4 on the front mounts. I didn't disconnect anything not required for engine removal - except for the cooling stack that all had to go. Don't know why nothing in the box is working."īut I figured I'd do a partial lift. I thought briefly about using the hot wrench on the harness. Taylor Made ensured that their ambulance bodies would not be removed by running their harnesses through the cab, and using only one color of wire (orange). I've got an ambulance here with a failed lifter on #1 exhaust and severe wear on the remainder of the valve train components.
