Message: [QUOTE="johnboy27, post: 1288950, member: 11729"] Yeah, what Mike said and then add a few hours LOL The directions are really good and I think someone that has some basic knowledge could do it. On a side note....I would forget about the part of step 12 where you remove the c-clip that holds the coolant feed line on the turbo. Just cut the line and be done with it. The directions say remove it and make sure you don't lose the clip. I assumed you needed it later. The fact is they don't want it flying around and ending up inside the engine by mistake. I spent an hour trying to get that clip out and a friend told me don't worry about it and to just cut the line. That was much easier. LOL Getting the old turbo out is a bit of the pain in the butt. Getting to some of the clamps in the back of the engine bay is a long reach also. I am 6'5" and it was a long reach for me. I found myself sitting in the engine bay sometimes getting to stuff. I have been working on all type of engines my entire life off and on. I have done all the work on my truck myself so far. However, this job was much more involved than the previous work I had done on this truck. Not to mention the pucker factor that goes along with tearing and expensive engine a part with the possibility of something going wrong. It took me 7 hours to get everything removed and cleaned up and ready for the new parts to go in. I had another 8 hours of work installing everything back in. That was wasting an hour trying to remove that c-clip and it also took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to get the stock turbo out without screwing anything up. Such as the high pressure fuel lines that are right in front of the turbo. LOL [/QUOTE]
