Hello and Welcome to SDD.com, glad to have you here. You got 246 out of it and
now you will be going for another 250K miles. Good luck with it, should run
great when it's done.

Wow, cab has to come off to replace the head gaskets and studs?

Welcome to the forum!

Yes it does. It can be done without removing the cab, but it is a real pain in the ass.

Thank you. Sadly this is the second round for head gaskets. P.o went through all the cost of doing HG'S and used the black onyx gaskets which failed even with ARP studs. This time it's done right.

It was nice having the cab off. I was able to get a bunch of new stuff on while the cab was off to save a bunch of headaches and busted knuckles later on.

I bet it was alot easier to just pull the cab rather then the engine. Not a bad idea!
