Iv been tossing the idea around a out looking and buying a stock 5.9 for my 99 ram. The point of me buying one is to go ahead and rebuild it and add on a few bolt ons. But I'm curious as how long it takes to actually pull the motor? I can do an older chevy in around 2 hours but haven't messed with anything this new as far as pulling the motor.

 

The process is pretty much the same.... disconnect all electrical, torque converter bolts, bellhousing bolts, exhaust, power steering (either the lines, or, the whole bracket and pump) a few vacuum lines, loosen the engine mount bolts (no need to completely remove them) and out it comes. If you are in reasonable health, have a clue, (which you apparently do. ), and things 'go well'..... 2 to 3 hours is a reasonable guesstimate.

 

1hr per liter!

 

Is that engine capacity, or beer consumed

 

I have seen the motor mounts on the k member and they seem alittle different, almost like a notched peice of metal in a sense. It's something I'll have to look into. First things first is finding the motor and tearing into it. Untill then I'm going to do what I can to mine.
