This is real easy with a lift in my opinion. Did ya'll know that there is an o-ring on the back of the block on the later model Ford Power Strokes that you have to pull the cab of the truck off to get to it. Wonder if the engineers that designed this one were some of the same engineers that designed the Ford? With that said I had rather work on the ol Chevy versus the Volvo but if I were going to cover any interstate distance I would rather be in the Volvo. If all I'm going to be doing is be in the woods or on the dirt roads I'd rather be on the 4 wheeler. The thing I though was kinda unusual was the way the a/c compressor was mounted. It looked like it would be a piece of cake to change out.
