Engine bay management tips?
My MO is to always pull the motor and tranny and put the motor on my engine stand. Buy a gasket kit for it and change every gasket on it. Clean it and repaint it. Clean the transmission and put new seals in the front rear and on the bottom and the shifter seal. Change all fluids and oils I'm put on all new hoses and belts.
Well that's out totally scrub and clean and pain if you have to the engine bay. Disconnect all the wires from the engine bay harness and claim them with WD-40. Then go to Harbor Freight and buy some plastic wire loom cover uncover all the wires..
Reconnect motor and tranny and drop them and plug in all your clean new wires...
Like I did this last truck...
