We use the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual for all of our Submarine Safe Work (I am stationed on my 3rd Submarine here in Pearl Harbor). Been putting together, and then torquing joints that quite litterally can mean the difference between life and death for >10 yrs. Torque is a funny thing.
Check out Part 1, Chapter Five, Section 5.3

There is also a ton of great info in there on joint make-up and general assembly. I suggest you guys check it out. Almost everything in that manual is very useful IMO. A bad o-ring caused the Challenger failure...it's the little things you have to pay attention to!

you can purchase the "book"...or paper version for $100-200
or
you can buy the OEM Ford repair DVD's for about $5-25. I get them off eBay. I've bought them for all of my Fords. To date have a 2005/2006, 2007/2008, 2009/2010. They come with all Wiring Diagrams, HVAC, and all procedures and diagnostics. Even has the TSB's that were available at time of release.
very good tool. I've got a few paper manuals and they are easier to use at the jobsite, but the DVD's really cut down on the clutter. And they're great to print so you don't mess up your nice book.
here's a few links to one for your truck

Actually, THe proper torque for ARP head studs is 210 not 240+
If it takes under 2 hrs to remove the cab why would one even think trying to do the job without cab removal? Install the cab in under a hour . . . Thats with it being rolled out of the way.

...when you have no way of getting the cab up. Not everyone has a 2-post lift or some sort of ceiling hoist.

also if you worked on as many bucket trucks and meat wagons as I do you would get it.

Well I knew it wouldn't help mileage, I was just wondering if there might be some reason that all the people that have had it done at this shop went from high teens or 20mpg or so down to low teens. They're getting worse mileage unloaded after studs than they were with a loaded trailer before studs.

Since studs couldn't possibily make a difference in the fuel mileage, (they don't weigh that much more than the bolts) 
something else must have happened, like a reflash, or different heads, or something egr related. Can't see it being the studs.
