Thats something i didnt think about and a great point! Im in texas and at this time diesels do not have to pass emissions. Thanks!

I have gotten all of that off and now my problem is the oil pan will not clear before the valve cover hits. So im guessing i need to take the oil pan off ?:confused:

Do i have to remove the transmission just to take the motor out? Ive took all the bolts out of the transmission do i need to slide it back or anything? I hate to wrestle that heavy sucker if i don't have to because im doing this in my garage and by myself. Any pointers?

Good deal. Thanks John.

Well guys I started pulling the motor out of the 2000 today and was reminded why I'm so anal about keeping my engine bay and underside of my truck clean! I did notice (because I was curious) that it has a NV5600? Transmission in it. Is that as good or better than the NV4500? I hope so.

Thanks DVolk! Im going to try it. I went ahead and bought the 2000. I thought it was an 01 but iy is in fact a 2000.

I already have a 12V in a 1993 truck but the truck is rusted out and the motor runs really good and strong. I am picking up a 2001 3500 with a hole in the block and my question is, will it be wise for me to do this or will it end up costing me a bunch of money? The truck is for sale for $2500...
