How long does it take for a shop to remove the cab and install head studs on a 6.0? I've seen alot of posts which include a cost but I was wondering how many hours work it actually is.

One of the techs here just opened his own shop in MI, and said he could have them done in 2 days, barring any unforeseen problems, like cracked/ warped heads

One shop by me told me 2 1/2 days. He said he puts two techs on it and gets it out. But he was also almost double the cost of the other guy who told me a week to week and a half.

What about DIY or another DIY?

Just a thought...

Pretty sure its a 26 hr job at the dealer, only takes about 4 hrs to get the cab off, from there is a piece of cake..... sorta. If you have to send the heads out it will take longer of course
