Put your socket on it with a breaker bar extension aka a big piece of pipe

JK! Just keep trying on it.

Post up some pics of your shop also

You probably dont want to see it ...lol, its a old chicken house i took down and made a 50ft pole barn out of it. I poured concrete in half the rest is dirt floor, I plan to build a house and a actual shop within a year or so, but this one has served me well and it was cheap. I just added the lift for now.
Sorry bout the pics me and photobucket dont work well together.

Lifts are a joy to install by yourself. I really heart those lifts, hope to have one some day.

This one is a titan 11k, it seems to be well built, costs 2400 plus shipping. I figured I could pay for the lift with the labor it would have costed to have someone else do my truck plus i have wanted one for a long time. And this is a good learning process for me.

Guys I hate to ask a stupid question but what it the trick to unpluging the injector connectors? I tried the way i thought it released but the clip broke and i dont want to break anymore.
Maybe mine are just brittle.

dzchey21 explained it to me, thanks again

 

[Dzchey21]

No.problem bud first time I did them I had to ask too. Keep us posted

 

[78f100]

Pulled the heads today, they look good and pistons look good thank God. Taking the heads to machine shop monday!

 

[78f100]

Dropped my heads off at the machine shop and the guy asked if i wanted him to put new injector cups in. He does alot of 6.0 heads but never 6.4, should i have him do it?

 

[78f100]

I meant to say tubes not cups but yall know what i mean.

 

[Spatel23]

Im not sure Id do the cups but I would do hardened valve seats as they are prone to cracking.
