Of course it is easier, but I believe with the cab on you have to move the ac components.

Whatever helps you sleep at night sweetheart. We would have to want a 6.0 to hate on you. I dont know why 6.0 owners get so defensive about their trucks. Reminds me of Texans......

You're right. I have never owned a 6.0 so I have no right to talk about it. Shame on me for knowing the flaws of other diesels.

You're totally right. I didnt.

The track bars are junk, lift pumps are junk, ball joints are a joke, vp44's need proper fuel pressure and lubricity in their fuel or they will fail premature. auto transmissions are junk... The dash cracks... They rust out...

also, whats a 53 block??

Ok so you're pointing out the problems on a second gen. The OP isnt looking at one of those.
