CAB off?

[sidwaz]

I have injectors, valve springs, glowplugs and Head studs to install. I'm on the fence if I should just lift the cab off to do all the work. The truck has an 8" lift on 37's so working over the fenders is alot of climbing up and down. Any thoughts? I would like to do it all in one weekend. I have access to a hoist but it is about an hour drive away.

i think cab off will probably be the best route

I would vote to pull the motor or lift the cab. It will save you a future headache I am sure.

I have had the cab off before so that is probably the best route.

Agreed, cab off would be easiest and is not that long of a procedure.

I am going to pull the cab off. Two shops I looked into pricing to complete the job and both refused to install the studs one by one replacing the bolts. They both wanted to resurface the heads and install new gaskets. Has anyone not been succesful replacing stud for bolt one at a time?
