Head gaskets
I had to do mine just after it turned 100k.I had a buddy of mine help me and we had it done in about 20-22 hrs. Before i did mine I had it to the dealers twice and they said they didnt find any thing. But then why did it keep pushing antifreeze out of the resivore and the upper hose would feal like a steel pipe after it sat for about 4hrs. When pulled apart we found that the ring around the cylinder on four of them were failing.

did mine on my own with a bad back, next time if i have to do it id pull the engine out, or lift the cab off.
the biggest annoyance is that damn lb7 downpipe, i broke two 12 point sockets trying to get that thing out. some shops drop the trans because its that much of a pain in the ***.

i didnt pull the turbo out either, but the downpipe isnt a vband clamp on the new models, lb7's have some pain in the *** bolts in them. i pulled the head off with the exhaust and intake manifold on
