Well got a quote from an independent today. Roughly $1200 out the door.

The dilemma, try and tackle on my own and save roughly $700 or just bite the bullet and pay to get it done.

While there is not a complete guide there are a couple threads that give decent enough how to information that I think I can do it.

Several previous repairs that I have done would include some of the disassembly that I would need to do. For example I replaced the washer pumps by removing inner fenders, replaced starter motor just two weeks ago which required moving a bunch of stuff. I also replaced the radiator and expansion tank along with all belts and hoses. Not that it's relevant here, but I also replaced the oil filter housing gasket and the valve cover gasket among other repairs.

Man, been through a lot with this truck.
