Engine Removal Questions

[SucioP]

Started tackling a project for which I'm vastly underqualified / unequipped to do. Using the FSM, I made it the end of #17 before getting stuck. Where the f*!% is the "ground cable from cylinder block"?

Thanks in advance for the help and answers to future bonehead questions posted under this thread.....

haha i have a feeling if you start lifting it out, you will find it! That is how i would find it, so maybe wait for better, smarter people to respond ha.

I suspect this thread will contain lots of questions lol.

The ground cable is essentially just a thick wire bolted to the block and the chassis. The wire should be located on the left side of the Engine towards the bottom. Essentially you’ll need to discuss everything that goes from the engine to somewhere else. Take lots of photos and take your time

It's VERY possible a PO disconnected it and never hooked it back up.

If I recall correctly (IIRC), there are (3) ground cables on the engine to the cab and frame.

OP, what year is the vehicle?

 

[SucioP]

Its a 96.

I've disconnected 3 already (firewall, engine hoist and intake).

Any forgotten connections become great limit straps!

For posterity and the next glutton for punishment. Here it is; just to the bottom of oil filter neck.

It feels like it ties into the main harness (along with oil sensors). Not sure why you need to disconnect until the engine is out as the harness is coming with it?
