Richard, I know exactly how you feel.
I'm finally nearing the end of the saga of the head replacement on the SD. Another day, today................turbo oil feed line..........turbo lower support bracket............cyclone drain lower support bracket.............exhaust downpipe top flange............exhaust downpipe lower clamp...........transmission dipstick mount............crankcase dipstick mounting ring.............valve cover............main throttle linkage............radiator drain plug...........radiator mounting clips.
Then the day was done. The time just passes by and not enough gets finished. Too much time is spent looking for ratchets and sockets............which are not more than five feet away............but..........in which direction??
Hang in there.............if this job is successful.............it will all be worth it.
