Yeah ive read through the threads of what people have paid at dealerships. I know a guy who does these kinds of jobs on the side but hes booked out for months. I have been contemplating taking some time off of work and doing it myself. I will most definitely do the studs, have the heads checked, cleaned and gone right through while they're off. Even though I know its a big time commitment, the piece of mind knowing that I did it and made sure everything that needs to be addressed has been addressed is starting to sway me towards doing this myself. Last winter I had the truck torn down for cab corners, rockers, fuel lines, cooler, bed sides, body work and a bottom half paint job. Hoping not to have this truck become a winter garage queen. Did you use any manuals or books to help you guys along or was everything pretty straight forward?
Thanks for the help btw
