I will more than likely be coming to visit you Scott in July :hug:

Seems like a better idea to come up there and have another dmax guy in case we run into a snag.

On another note, i am going to replace the valve cover (lower and upper) bolts to something other than allen heads, they sure do like the strip out. What is everyone using?

Got everything swapped out at Scotts house....The lift sure did make it easier.

Had alot of fun and got it done pretty quick.

Didn't end up lifting the cab...Drivers side, had to put on stud in the head when we dropped it down so we wouldn't have clearance issues.

haha I think I got a bit more loaded than you....and my ribs finally kicked in where I slipped while lifting the pass head off and smacked the ribs on the front clip...

Had to take the last 2 days off work, couldnt get out of bed without help.

but the wife has "borrowed" half my winners already lol.

Still was a good time:hug::hug::thumb:
