No "need" to pull the motor at this point. If you want to, fine, but it is a bit premature.

Haha let me correct that, im not pulling anything as i start cross training for a new MOS this week and have zero time available nor the space/tools to do the job on base up here, so im looking my *** off for someone i can trust to not "rob" me.

I'd do it just so it is easier to work on. He mentioned leaking uppies which will be a little easier to get to with the motor out, O-rings, turbo, lifting a 100 pound head off the motor, ALL easier with the motor out of the truck.
I'd hate to do all the "pulling the head in the truck" work and then still have to pull the motor.
I don't know about you but I dislike being bent over trying to work in a superduty/excursion engine bay.
