Dropped the front end down today to pull the engine. I extended the engine hoist all the way up to see if it would pull it without dropping the front of the truck. It would pick it far enough up, but the garage door was too low to pull the hoist backwards out of the truck. So I pulled the wheels and set the rotors on blocks. I think all in all I did about 1 hour of work on the truck including wheels and picking the engine. The rest of the day was spent trying to fix the stutter in the Scout, picking up and dropping off the hoist. BTW thanks Dale from binderplanet for loaning me the hoist!
If you ever have to pull a hood by yourself, cut a pair 2" piece of 2x3 wood and place it in the corners. It kept the hood corner from getting chipped, or scratching the fenders.
I guess I should introduce my "new addition" since I mentioned her in my first post. Bristol Rose, born Sept 7, 2009. She has already been out to help (translated: daddy was supposed to watch her while mommy ran errands)
