6.0 L Head

Anyone replace the head w/o lifting the cab? Going through two gallons of antifreeze a day after tension pully breaking, guessing warped head, going to pressure test this weekend.

Yes, in fact, Ford does not recommend lifting the cabs on 6.0 trucks although they are easier to torque heads that way. However, they can be done without lifting the cab. Not really a fun job no matter which way you do it. Make sure to checks egr cooler, oil cooler, cap, etc before you jump to headgaskets.
