Yes, down that road I go. Hopefully it’s not too hard.So are we moving into the “pull the engine” phase of this saga?
Not 100% sure, but it's looking like I am pulling them both together.You decided to pull with the tranny or separate?

Also, at 342 foot pounds, I was able to move the crankshaft. Not sure if that means anything or not, but it moved, and no sounds.
That said, step 26 says that you have to remove the exhaust. If I have the exhaust manifold removed, is this still necessary?
You could still pull the engine with the torque converter attached and leave the transmission in the truck. There is big potential for big mess with transmission oil spillage.I could probably reach the bell housing bolts, I have the the tools.
BUT.
I am unable to turn the crankshaft, AND I can't shift into neutral. So it comes out as one big piece.
I made the decision (based on limited choices) to pull the engine and transmission together. Everything is ready on the front. Driveshafts and a few bolts inside along with a few other steps. Then get a helper to take cross member off and take it out.If you can’t turn the crank, when you separate the trans and engine the torque converter will stay with the engine.

Things are lined up to tackle this today, hoping that we can get it out without any collateral damage. Only thing I need to get is a load balancer / leveler to use on the hoist. Otherwise I think I'm set. First time for everything I suppose. Grab theAny updates on why it seized?
