So I just got a 6.5TD setup from a guy parting out his pickup. Looking a bit closer at my M1009 and it looks like it's going to be a tight fit between the manifolds and the frame on the passenger side.
So for those that have performed this before: would it be easier to pull the whole engine to get everything changed or to remove the passenger side inner fender, batteries etc just to fight frame clearance?
I'm planning to replace the harmonic balancer and timing chain in the near future too if that would make a difference in your decision. Just curious about which path would be the one of least resistance.
I have a pole barn on a slab so space isn't an issue for me.
Thanks for your $0.02
