checking the fit of the motor,ordering motor mount plates monday

DROPPED15 · 08-12-2010, 09:59 PM

Ordered motor mount plates yesterday,can you send factory harness off to make it plug-in go,would it be cost efficent to buy a plug and go from tech-rods,which is cheaper?

DROPPED15 · 08-13-2010, 05:44 PM

got mounts today and got motor mocked-up,and got cab off (what a disaster),took doors off before lifting with motor puller

DROPPED15 · 08-13-2010, 05:48 PM
