@LTF618 any chance you can post up a video showing the engine running? Would love to hear your cold start and hot idle. Thanks

I will work on that. May take a minute due to my circumstances, but will get it done asap.

is this normal to remove the front bodyand cab to swap motors?

May or may not be normal but it sure is the best and most convenient way.

Now that you've had the truck back for over a month, how is it running? Are you happy with the remanufactured engine you purchased? I'm looking for a remanufactured engine myself for my 2004 F150 with 179K miles on her, and have been reading your thread.

It is running perfectly. I am very happy with the Fraser engine. And the 5 yr warranty gives me a good piece of mind. Haven't had any problems with it at all. Going to change the oil soon to make sure everything looks good. But all is well so far for sure!
