HotRodDad, I was also surprised when somebody told me that it is easier to remove all of the front sheetmetal. However, once I did this, I don't know why anyone would try to remove the engine with the front sheetmetal on the truck. It really is simple to remove, and once the engine is out, it is easy to replace.

Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.
