Can studs be swapped in 1 by 1, or do I need to strip to parade rest and redo the head gaskets too? I've got a clean bill of health for the HG's currently, but due to the dismal results of the state mandated reflash, I'm going to get an innovative excalibrator for it, and I want to keep the HG's safe...

I've heard of people doing them 1 by one on these trucks with no problem,
but I don't think you can do it with out pulling either the cab or the engine.
and if you're going to do that much work, the way I see it, you might as
well do it right, and tear it down, and put new headgaskets on;)

just my :2c
