Thanks for sharing your pictures! Were there any sort of damping pads between the subframe and the body, or was it metal to metal? Makes me wish for a lift...

There is one self centering screw (they have a cone on the mounting side of the head) per side so keep track of where those are at but other than that nothing weird. Sorry to get back to you so late, I guess I don't get notifications through email. | | | Re: Dropping Motor Subframe B1500 | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 | Thanks SilverStubby! That self centering feature is great to know about; returning the front end to alignment had been a concern of mine.

I just changed out a motor in mine but went in/out through front passenger door. | | | Re: Dropping Motor Subframe B1500 | Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 3 Likes: 1 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 3 Likes: 1 | Never done one that way, I didn't know there was enough room on the newer (B150 and B1500) vans to do it that way. Did you have to take the trans out first or can you leave it in? | | |
