Good evening and Happy New Year to all,
I know I should take the motor all the way out of the coach but I just want to raise it up enough to get the pan off and check some things. I know it's been done, so how much does it have to go up to get the pan off. and are there any drawings out there for a lift only without trolley. I have a hoist made to get drop the tranny but I just don't think the 3/4" pipe would safely lift the motor. I have a motor leveler for a cherry picker so I could use it to slide it forward a little to disengage the torque converter and tranny. As usual thanks in advance.

As you know, the transmission must be removed in order to get to some of the engine’s pan bolts.
I have had the pan off mine when replacing the transmission. The 3/4” pipe in my lift is enough to hold up the rear of the engine when removing the transmission.
I used a bottle jack to lift the front of the engine enough to remove the oil pan. Pick a point to jack up the engine so that the bottle jack doesn’t interfere with sliding off the oil pan.
If I remember correctly I only had to jack up the front of the engine about 1”.
