Its around corner from my job i pulled mine in two or three days on lunch breaks....1st day scoping it out getting plan of attack on it, second unbolting everything i could and pulling the xmember and damn near having engine and trans fall on top of me and last say about 10-15 minutes of converter and bellhousing bolts, being out if a van i couldnt really use the dipstick and it doesnt havevthe right trans cable bracket but thats minor....biggest thing is making sure they have one, and trying to catch one of their 40 or 50% off sales like i did... Got two trannies for like $160, the 4wd is for parts only reason i grabbed it ws because it was out already and 4wd but case is and was trashed, 2wd i grabbed to build
If the van isn't high enough they won't pull it here. Trucks they usually grab the whole thing as a 6.0 pull out unless the engine is bad.
Sometimes they don't look close enough at the odd years or the V6 vans.
Vans are a bitch!!! Last one was an 06 Express 2500, I took the whole thing complete with the 4.8L through the front. What a chore... At least we got the yard monkey with the fork lift between setting cars to help us drag it out... It was still a pain and we had to pull intake and exhaust manifolds as the hung up on the frame.
I only wanted a few pieces and there was alot of little stuff missing, but for the price at 40% off, might as well grab it all...

If i knew how to take a day off, or could afford to it would have been about an hour and a half to drop it but hell someone had already dropped the rear with the ds attached..... Made life bit easier..... I risked leaving it all there until the sale started on wed, i started pukking it on monday, took it out wednesday....i still wish i had grabbed the 80 out of the 05 they had there a while ago, mainly for the flexplate...... Noone around here seems to want to pull transmissions out of them theyll even pull the engine and leave trans

If I don't put one my Tahoe, I will put one in my future project vehicle.
I need to start going by my local pick-n-pull. You guys are having all the fun, haha
