Disconnect the transmission harness 

(Allison: 2 main connectors, 1 connector to 
the retarder accumulator solenoid) (ZF 
transmission: 3 connectors). 

31. From under the vehicle, disconnect the 

propeller shaft as detailed in Section 09, 
under heading "Propeller Shaft Removal". 

32. Inspect the power plant assembly to ensure 

that nothing will interfere when sliding out the 
cradle. Check for connections or hoses not 
mentioned in this list as some vehicles are 
equipped with special or aftermarket 
components.

4,000 lbs (1 800 kg), slightly raise the power 
plant cradle.  

35. Pull engine out slowly from the engine 

compartment.  Make sure all lines, wiring and 
accessories are disconnected and are not 
tangled.  

 

CAUTION 

Due to the minimum clearance between the 
power plant equipment and the top of the 
engine compartment, extreme care should be 
used to raise the power plant cradle, just 
enough to free the cradle. Clearance between 
power plant cradle and mounting rail should 
range between 1/4" and 1/2" (6-12 mm).
