Default Engine removal and install...

I have a Red 2004 Ford F-150 Supercrew with 128k miles. Due to no fault of mine, I had the unfortunate task of removing the engine and replacing it with a remanufactured engine Through Ford. What a task! It was not as bad as people claimed. I did it myself, and the truck runs beautifully now....

This thing should last you a while though. I'm assuming it's updated

I was waiting for someone to comment on that. Yes! Apparently a chipmunk found a little snuggle place at one point during the lid of this truck... Under the intake manifold... Lol

I'm doing the exact same thing right now also but under my intake I had a rats nest . My big question for you was how hard was it to get the tranny and mounts to line up when you put it back in guess that's the only thing I'm worried about

I had an Eagles nest in my exhaust once. Turns out it was from so much America coming out of my tail pipes.
