This will make you sick.

Mine is a 2007 but after seeing this it makes me sick especially when the warranty is up.

These manufacturers gotta come up with better ways to access mechanical problems. They know many of us like doing our own work and this sure would drive me away if I had to pay the expense.

They did the same thing to my 05 to fix the bed plate leak. It seems extreme, but it didnt take the tech long to get the cab off the truck. I was pretty impressed.

I can just see the wires for aftermarket lights or something getting cut and never repaired when they pull the cab off, let alone a bypass oil filter or something that isn't a factory Ford part. Anybody ever heard of them pulling an Excursion body off of the frame? You'd think if engine work required cab removal they'd have to do it for X's too.

I can only imagine what is required to remove the cab. Steering, cables. hoses, electrics. I had read elsewhere one owner complained that his cab had been removed so many times that his truck does nothing but rattle and squeak anymore. I thought he was only exagerating about the cab. I'd be pretty upset about the whole thing. My sons both had Jeep Grand Cherokees that were pieces of junk that I spent hundreds of hours working and spending money on. Because of that I will never buy a Mopar. So Ford better watch what happens to their truck market closely because Toyota will jump all over them the minute they faulter. It really bothers me about having to remove a cab to work on a vehicle. Ford should have done something about making the engine accessable or making the the body tilt up. This is BS.

I won't add aftermarket stuff till after my engine warranty is up...I don't trust the dealers

Well looks like my next purchase before my 08 SD is going to have to be a lift. LOL

This is a feature on the new 2008's.

They can remove the cab within 2 hours.

Everything unbolts from underneath.

The Bolts are though USE ONCE bolts, They are NOT used again.

Actually, this is designed to make it much easier to do any major engine work and I can see how it would!

Most of the Guys won't be doing this type of MAJOR Engine work anyways.

Doesn't scare me about buying an 08. In fact I would like to have a truck that you can remove the cab like that.

Heck, they could design the hood and fenders as one piece and have the hinges at the bumper. You could get to all kinds of cool stuff that way. It would be easier to put in an EGT pyrometer too Or would that make TOO much sense?

ok.. start thinking up how to design that idea... you lll make millions.. or not.. worth a shot
