How long should cab on head gasket job take?

[glenreid]

I've got an '07 6.0 and have just had the head gaskets changed for the 2nd time. The first time we deleted the EGR and changed the studs. Fitted Black Onyx gaskets and they started leaking after 5,000miles.

I had a mechanic machine the heads and install OEM head gaskets this time. How long would this normally take with the cab on?

No prob.

My tech removed the cab, i am unsure of the hours to do a cab on job but I highly doubt its over 100hrs.

Just to be clear you'd be using OEM Head Gaskets this time right?

Yes have gone back to OEM gaskets. No more leaks.

ARP studs or stock TTY?

ARP studs. Had them installed the first time the gaskets went. Along with EGR delete.
