Just an FYI.........

I read Diesel Power magazine and think it is a good publication that seems to feature our particular engine often. The magazine is going to cover a CAB ON head gasket replacement/ARP stud addition next month. I for one am eager to read it before I do mine this winter....Thought maybe someone else might benefit also.


Take Care
Joe

Cab on/engine in gasket replacement + ARP install isnt too bad, completely do-able

Bear in mind you DIYers will likely be doing this job only once (if everything goes right). Imagine having to do this job time and time again, and what it does to the back. I know Cheezit will chime in and tell you otherwise.

easiest way is just to loosen the motor mounts and rock the engine enough to one side to get the heads out. worked beautifully on my friends 03
