Question

Post Body

I work at an auto repair shop and recently picked up a 04 Escalade, 150 on the dash and the engine has got a hole in the piston, block is toast, it is currently in our parking lot. Would it be possible to swap the engine out myself with a new 6.0? I have the tools here, engine hoist, sockets, ratchets etc. I’ve only ever done oil changes on my other car, I have all the time in the world while it’s sitting in our parking lot, can it be done without a lift and with little experience?. I’m a service writer but I work with 2 technicians who can help when needed, what do you think?.
