I have a 2000 four-door F350 with a dump bed (manual transmission)
I'm asking for suggestions for the following items. I plan to replace and I'm asking what would be best, IE; remove the cab, remove the engine, remove the fenders?
I do have a lift that will handle the cab but not the complete truck

I plan to repair or replace the following:Clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing
Rear main seal
Pedestal delete
Upper reseal, o'rings,seals, valve cover gaskets
H pop lines
Turbo rebuild
Up pipes
Oil pan reseal
Front and rear main seals
Hydro brake booster rebuilt

Again, I'm asking for your suggestions, whether I should;
Remove the engine?
Lift the cab up?
Remove the front fenders?

What would be the easiest way to do all this?
TIA

 

Something we learned the hard way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the more you disturb/remove, the more chance for problems !

The clutch can be replaced without removing cab.
That 7.3 diesel is a good workhorse and with regular , good maintenance can produce very well.
The more you disturb, the more chance for problems, remember that !

Planning on the maintenance you wish to do , will cost $$. The after effects of which you unnecessarily disturb.could exceed well over what you planned.to spend.
It is not a new truck and a lot of things can break on attempted removal , and,,, will the necessary parts still be available?

 

good advice. I do have multiple leaks up top and it's so hard to tell exactly where it's coming from so I basically wanted to replace all those O-rings, and the pedestal needs to come off to do over rings under that so I was going to do the delete and change the turbo blade

 

Do you mean the turbocharger complete ?
They can be expensive and make sure the oil supply and drain are clean and in good condition.

Just a reminder,,,,,,,,,,,,NEVER use starting fluid with this engine because the glow plugs will ignite the air filter assy and could blow it apart.

 

I plan to just change the turbo blade
And modify the pedestal
im still confused on how to proceed
Remove the engine? The cab? Etc
Can the valve cover gaskets even be done with the engine installed?

 

You need to exchange the entire turbo !!
That intake wheel and exhaust wheel rotate at over 100,000 RPM and need to be balanced in a shop that rebuilds turbos.! That all requires special equip.
If not balanced it WILL self destruct. If there is any looseness or marks where blade has been contacting the housing the turbo needs to be replaced ! !

 

My question still remains, and I would like input on whether I should remove the engine, remove the cab, or do everything without removing the engine or cab?

yes, in fact, I have all the parts here already. Most all of the items I mentioned our fault you were leaking other than the turbo blade.
But considering I want to pull the turbo and the pedestal, the up-pipes, valve cover gaskets, then pull the transmission to do the clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing and rear main seal am I better off pulling the engine, the cab or work on everything individually while the engine still in the truck without lifting the cab

 

Don't remember if you can drop the oil pan without lifting engine. Front chassis crossmember might be in the way..
