I did mine about 6 months ago, with a lot of help from "nmeinc" My mechanical knowledge was/is fairly limited. Headers, brakes, maintainence, etc. That kind of thing. I was in a bit over my head, said a lot of bad words, broke a few things here and there, but we got it done. And I am kinda glad I did it now, although at the time, I was regretting it. Now, I feel a lot more comfortable with my truck, and knowing where stuff is. But without Karl's help, I would have been screwed.

Anyway, I used a DOA kit. And I wish I hadn't. I paid the big money, the kit came with the gaskets all bent up, and when I contacted DOA about it, they were really sh*tty to me. Sure, the gasket thing was no big deal, really... but the attitude I got, left a real bad impression...
