I hear this cited a lot in this forum, generally by the PSD detractors, and a big deal is made about the cab having to come off. Yet I recall various other sources, and pretty sure at least one tech that's posted here, that any decent shop with a 2 post lift can have the cab off in approximately 1 1/2 hrs. I'd wager that in the overall scheme of semi major engine repairs (or worse), this is a relatively minor portion of the total cost.
