Hey, tubzz, I'm about to do the head gaskets on my 7.3 IDI turbo. Any idea if I'll have to jack up the cab also?
how strong is your back?:eek: the heads on the IDI weigh about as much as a 4cyl honda(j/k but its close) You could jack up the body, but I have done the gaskets with a large rubber band holding the right rear headbolts against the valvesprings. It's pretty obvious which ones won't come out on their own. use a cherry picker to do the heads tho. If not, have an extra headgasket on hand because you will nick the head gasket on your first time at this job.
pm me if you have any questions.
