I'd rather hit myself in the head with a hammer than think it would be better to pull the cab on my truck to replace my six injectors. Ford boys can have that monster all to themselves.

Sorry, fourteen hours was a typo. Did not mean to mislead anyone. I do have a buddy that the dealer tried to charge 16 hours for cab removal......it was the second time for injector replacement.....he new better........ was a 2004 or 05 6.0.

I've heard it's not as big of a deal as people think. After you do one or 2 I'm sure you can do it in WAY less than the 14hrs. I know Kyle at Crankitupdiesel can have a Dmax drive in the shop and he can have both the engine and transmission on a pallet in 2hrs by himself. I'm sure if you look that up the "shop time" isn't anywhere near 2hrs. That being said I'm sure a guy that works on Fords all the time can remove the cab as fast as the average owner can replace injectors in a Cummins.
Ford and Dodge build there truck cabs in the same way, the cab and front end are the same piece, a unibody type construction, as far as ive seen the chevys arnt, the front end on those are seperate from the cab.
