Hmm.
Pulling the intake isn't that bad. Maybe I should finally do something about my injectors...

You just had to bring the intake up. That is in the plan also. I need
to install my BPD EGR cooler. I talked to the people over at Fugate
Ford. They did head gaskets before I bought it and anytime the heads
are off they clean the turbo. So I won't have to do that unless I want
to with the way I drive. While the intake is off it's going to get a good
cleaning to remove all the carbon/soot. I do have an intact EGR system
but it's turned off with a tune.
Right now I guess I should go out and do that relative compression test.
Truck is nice and warm for the Costco run and dinner break. Yes dinner
at Costco Chicken Bake. Yummy!

1) Passenger side the lower 2 VC bolts if you don't have a 12mm flex ratchet wrench
2) Passenger side oil rail is a biotch without a stubby torx bit or at least a mini 1/4" ratchet
3) I hate removing the FICM brackets for whatever reason.
As for intakes, that part isn't bad, I despise re-installing the turbo no matter how many times I have done it.

3 things suck about injectors:
1) Passenger side the lower 2 VC bolts if you don't have a 12mm flex ratchet wrench
2) Passenger side oil rail is a biotch without a stubby torx bit or at least a mini 1/4" ratchet

On the turbo, the biggest pain IMHO is to align the exhaust on the turbo. Found that loosening the pipes at the exhaust manifolds made it real easy.
