In all truth, the only thing that is problematic is actually getting the head off the engine while still in the vehicle.
You'll find that there may actually be holes in the cowl to access the head bolts on these trucks.
In most respects it's not really any more difficult than doing a VE or P-pump engine.
The only real "extra" you need to worry with is the valve cover spacer and the injector wiring.
Just take it a step at a time and mark stuff as you go, or even take pics.
I'm playing around with an early '04 Commonrail engine that I bought.
I just had it fired up on the bed of my old '91 earlier.
These things intrigue me and I intend to play with it at least a little while longer, since I can't seem to sell it, anyway.
In truth, it's not a whole lot different than any port-injected gasser engine.
Mark.
