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.

Same here, did VCG, OFH, OC gaskets, Tranny,...... .
Although it is relatively simple, it requires removing some heavy parts. What limits my ability to perform this job is that I don't have enough room in my parking, which is a shared parking.
I would definitely have done it myself if I had my own garage.
Many owners have an Indy or dealer perform the job. Reason? probably it's a monster to deal with!
Going to youtube to see if I see some good DIY...
Start on Friday night, dismantle the big parts, reach the point, leave the rest for Saturday morning. By Saturday noon you will have saved $700! now that's a good chunk of money to spend on a vacation!
