Engine or Tranny pull
For Christmas my truck decided I hadn't paid it enough attention so the throughout bearing went out. I now find my self in a struggle between pulling the engine forward and replacing the motor mounts while I'm at it or pulling the drive line the transfer case and the tranny.
I have a cherry picker but no transmission jack and I'm leaning toward using an intake plate adapter to support the engine and just pulling the radiator to pull the engine forward and replace the bearing but I have never used this type of adapter to hook my cherry picker up before.
Any way let me know what you guy's think please.

I don't live in CA anymore so it's going to be 20-30 degrees and I don't feel like laying on the ground that damn long. All the damn linkage and vacuum lines laying underneath the truck I'd rather just work from above as much as possible plus I get to change my engine mounts while I'm at it.

I haven't pulled the engine from one of these, haven't even thought about it enough to go looking at what's required... but in the past, when given the choice I'd lift the engine every time rather than drop the transmission. It's usually easier and safer, and not so miserable when it's cold out.
If you go that route, please report back how painful or painless it was.
