the truth is in the end result. i have done sick-0 head gaskets both ways. in the cab, you have to take the evap core housing out, loosening and torquing everything is a nighmare, my back hurt every night after i was done working on it, and it took me 21 hours. doing it taking the cab off, my back feels good, torquing head bolts is much easier, many less scratches on the hands and arms, and virtually no chance of scratching the guys fender paint taking those heavier parts...heads, turbo, or bigger akward parts like the intake out. not to mention i can do the same job in 14-15 hours......
