70C10Step · 02-29-2008, 04:09 AM

I got the 4 main bolts out! What else needs to be removed to lift the cab... Engine and tranny are out also...

cdowns · 02-29-2008, 04:18 AM

steering/ electrical harness /tranny linkage/ emergency brake line/ and hydraulic brakes

Longhorn Man · 02-29-2008, 04:45 AM

and a couple ground straps if they are still there

70C10Step · 02-29-2008, 05:12 AM

Cool!!! That is what I needed to know...

ebfabman · 02-29-2008, 06:13 AM

Don't forget about the fuel line.

70C10Step · 02-29-2008, 06:22 AM

Thanks

shifty · 02-29-2008, 09:29 AM

and the e-brake line
and any gauge lines that might be coming in (oil/water/vacuum)
ground strap under the passenger side of cab going to framerail
wiper fluid lines

there's always something that i forget, just be sure to lift slowly and carefully. last time i broke off the ground strap and had to order new ones

shifty · 02-29-2008, 10:57 AM

see, i already forgot something. your tail lights/trailer wiring needs to be removed also

mbgmike · 02-29-2008, 11:19 AM

were you being serious with this post? if you havent noticed alot of people here ask questions others might think are stupid questions, but usually we try to be helpful and not bash someone

mbgmike · 02-29-2008, 11:42 AM

you didnt really offend me, but this sure wouldnt be a very encouraging stament to me if i were trying to do my homework before undertaking a project i had no experiance with.

like CCCC said, no matter how quickly anyone can learn or how long weve been wrenching we all started by asking simple questions. at least i did and i still appriciate the stuff i learned then.

You are correct. I was of no help. I apologize. I was wrong in saying what I did. We do this all the time and I offered no help. What is hard for someone else might be easy for us. I learned something tonight.

Hey - we all started out dumb and curious, and this board is a great place to learn and help others. Back there somewhere I learned that the use of profanity is a sure indicator of weakness.

mbgmike · 02-29-2008, 11:59 AM

ok sorry

Good luck

shifty · 02-29-2008, 08:22 PM

Or you could do it the poor man's way ... got any houses for sale near yours?

chevy one · 03-01-2008, 10:27 AM

I also have noticed a little more, as of lately that some here have not been as helpful or courteous as we have been in the past. One of the main reasons I joined the board is I don’t like the BS that you find on other forums.
mbgmike, as being a sight vendor you could be offending a future customer “just food for thought”.
As long as I have been turning a wrench (longer then I dare to disclose) there have been are some things forgotten, to which, I once new well. Young and Classic alike, we here, all have a common bond, we come here to boast, show, share, and help one another with our trucks.

Let' keep it that way.
