January 1999:

    With a lot of help from my friends I was able pull the engine out of my pickup truck in one afternoon. I borrowed the engine hoist from my coworker Larry Gauthier. I had help from Fred, Pepe and Jo taking the engine out. Luckily, Fred has done this before so it went quite smoothly.

     Before the engine is removed.

    Viola! It's out.

    Fred works on the transmission while Jo watches.

    A big hole where the engine was.

    Fred explains to Jo how the transmission is removed.

    Jo enjoys removing engines.

    The engine now sits in the corner of the garage.
