In my opinion, the best way to replace head gaskets is by pulling the engine first.
The heads are heavy, trying to do it in the truck is awkward at best.
The left head would not be to hard, but the heater is in the way on the right.
Yes it can be done in the truck, but I am to old to sit in an engine bay.
Valley pan, two head gaskets and two rocker cover gaskets will be close to 200 dollars.
Engine out, change gaskets and engine back in the truck will take about 20 hours if you have a helper and are a decent wrench.
