Advice on pulling a 3.0 engine
Pulling the 3.0 engine on a '92 4x4 extended cab. Should I disconnect at bell housing or pull with the transmission? If pulling with tranny, where do I unbolt? Should I separate it a the transfer adapter (I think that is what it is called) at what looks a black spacer. Appears to be red RTV at this location, so I assume that is where it was previously separated.. Any other hints or tips?

Do NOT try to separate the tranny at the black center section!!
Disconnect the tranny and bellhousing complete at the junction of the engine block and the bellhousing and leave the tranny/bellhousing in the trucks frame.

Yes, remove the starter.
The black section is in the middle of the tranny and carries some of the transmissions large bearings. It is steel for strength and rigidity.
The tranny would never be parted there except during tranny overhaul.

I have all bolts pulled except for two of the 17mm on the side and they are broke loose. I need to double check tonight, but believe I have everything else disconnected and now just need to unbolt the engine mounts. Any final words of advise for pulling?
Also, anybody have a reputable machine shop they can recommend in Dallas-Fort Worth area?

Following recommendations from other posts, I got the top two bolts using a 20" long extension with a universal joint and a 1/2 breaker bar. Getting them back in might be a problem, but that is a problem for another day. For now, they are out and the engine is hanging from the cherry picker. Puller her out Sat. Tranny is still in the truck.
Only busted connectors so far are all the ones that are so brittle they break when you look at them. Replacement connectors for the injectors arrived today and I am looking for a few of the other sensor connectors.
