He mentioned before that it wasn't him that took the engine out. The person he bought it from had it out to change the clutch....

As for why the engine is out, its because the guy who I bought the truck from already had the engine out to change the clutch.

Sisk, Jason was right in what he had said, i was thinking the same thing as Jason.
squire had said "next time", meaning he's planning on breaking it (or when it does, that's how he plans to do it).

squire, why would you pull the engine to do a clutch? never mind that the other guy had done it, he's a tool. it's not like it's a Lamborghini (those, unfortunately, need to be). the time you spend disconnecting the engine to pull it, you could have the trans/t-case back in, ready to go.

glad to hear you got it back in though.
