What are the torque specs for ingoing studs?

I think 125ft lbs... But It will say on the instructions when you buy the studs to verify.

Some shops do headstuds with the cab still on the truck,thats how strictly did mine. But like Mdub said its a waste of time unless u have ur heads decked.It doesnt matter if u ever had a head gasket problem or not, ur heads could still not be flat. I never blew a head gasket before but when my heads were checked by the machine shop guess what? they needed decked.

Yep, you can do headgaskets on a 6.0 any way you want. The easiest is cab off, but in-cab can and has been done. The main issues here are the A/C system will need to be evacuated and refilled, and the drivers side, the bolt that is the farthest back towards the firewall, and closest to the fender will give issues coming out/going in. You can cut it in half (be careful since the engine valley is exposed), or rubber band it, or most people dent the firewall in there for clearance. I've also heard you can unbolt motor mounts on one side and rock the motor to the side, also heard you can unbolt trans from the cross member and jack it up thus pointing the nose of the motor down and allowing clearance. Get creative!

Agreed again, DECK THE HEADS. :c:

I agree on having everything done right the first time. If the sole on your boot fell off, you wouldn't just put new shoe laces in them. Everything is a process. I have seen allot of heads with minor surface cracks, cracks by the injector cups, warping etc and you would never really know it until failure. Spend once, cry once.
