1.

Remove the “dog house” cover from the

engine for access.

2.

If a heavy duty hoist is available, raise

the vehicle and remove the front wheels for

easier access. If the rear wheels remain on

the ground, block the rear wheels.

3.

Disconnect all cables from the

battery(s).

4.

Starting from the rear of the vehicle

and working forward, remove the exhaust

system from the vehicle. Disconnect

oxygen sensor wire at oxygen sensor plug

(plug is located about two feet up the wire

loom). Leave exhaust pipe hangers in place

on the chassis. Remove headpipe assembly

from exhaust manifolds.
NOTE: Some joints may require the

heat from a torch to loosen them for

disassembly.

5.

Disconnect sparkplug wires at

sparkplugs. Label wires to assist in

reinstallation.

6.

Remove sparkplug heat shields.

7.

Disconnect EGR valve feed tube from

elbow fitting at rear of left hand exhaust

manifold. A 1

” tubing wrench may be

required (Snap On No. RX34), and fitting

may have to be heated, then sprayed

with WD40, or similar lubricant to assist in

removal from the exhaust manifold. See

Figure

1

.

8.

The air injection feed tube for each

factory exhaust manifold must also be

disconnected at the factory exhaust

9.

Remove exhaust manifolds from engine.

Unbolt ignition coil bracket, emissions

control bracket and dipstick tube bracket as

required.

10.

If the main positive power cable (large

red battery cable) crosses over from the

frame to the starter motor adjacent to

the exhaust manifold area, disconnect it

at the stud on the starter motor. Re-route

the cable to the starter motor by feeding

the cable between the side engine mount

and the oil pan. cut the plastic cable ties

on the forward part of the cable bundle as

required to provide slack as needed for the

new cable routing. Reconnect the cable at

the starter motor.
NOTE: Not all installations will require this.

If the battery cable does not cross over

from the frame to the starter adjacent to

the exhaust manifold area, this step may be

omitted. See step 16.

11.

Remove fabric heat shield material

from frame that is adjacent to the left

side of the engine, if equipped. (Many

motorhome chassis do not have this

shield.) Unbolt the left front spring bump

stop bracket (located directly above the
