yup saty warm. its cold even here in tx to day.
the job is pretty stright foward. should take you about a full day to do if you have not had a 6.0 apart yet.
dont forget to reinstall the map hose, if you have an exhaust leaks odds are the turbo and y-pipe are not seated correctly.

I second the above! I can't even begin to think how much money you and a few of the other guys have saved me here. I've gone from asking stupid questions and reading here 3 hours a night to actually working on my 6.0, and even enjoying it. I even answer the occasional question if it's not too hard! I have always hated anyone else working on my stuff, so I've always done my own work, and if it wasn't for this site, I would be going to the dealership and paying $105/hr out of fear and ignorance of the 6.0.
5000 posts is a lot of information dispensed...have a great Thanksgiving Cheezit, and everybody else from south of the 49th! (And Alaska)

Yep,you are certainly a keeper Cheezit.
Truth be known, I bet $50k is too conservitivy.

Yeah, soft... We were the 2nd coldest place on earth a couple of days ago. It was only -25F here, but a 100 miles away, they were -32F with a wind chill of -42. We're out of it now and back to normal (+30) but it can return at a moments notice. Winter hit so hard and it snowed so much that the ground isn't frozen under the snow!
Ok, enough thread hijacking, back to Cheezit and his 5000 posts.
