How to: Express Van engine replacement

[scottrinne]

Hi guys, with a little free time due to COVID-19, I was able to film/edit the process I used to pull the old 6.0l engine from my 2007 Express van. I replaced it with a remanufactured engine and I filmed that as well.

I’m sure I missed some important steps, but I’m also sure that these videos could help others on this forum.

Here is part 1:

VERY COOL!
I am assuming doing a 5.3 with AWD would not be much different?

I would assume it would be about the same; I didn’t have to touch any of the Quigley 4x4 stuff when doing mine.

Those are really well done videos from both the filming perspective and the technical perspective.

Thanks! I had to laugh because it was done with my iPhone 5, $5 clip-on wide angle lens, and a $10 tripod

I used to play racquetball with an old guy who had been a pro in the 80s. He used to beat me with a little tiny racket from the 70s

Great work, i was thinking of doing the same thing with our 2005 GMC AWD Savana, we have 218,000 miles on the original engine.
Love the van and may not part with it any time soon and the engine is running great!!
I may do this when it goes
Thanks for posting
