Banjo bolts were ordered even though a lot guys say they do nothing? Can't hurt and they were only $10 so I got them, I am replacing the oil cooler, HPOP screen, stc, getting a coolant filter from IPR. Sounds like it filters 100% unlike the other coolant filters. I've started a list.
Jferg, I'm not pulling the engine, it runs great so I'm just tearing down to the short block. Stud it and put a loooooot of new parts in her.

I have done this job more time than I fair to count. If you need to know anything dont hesitate to ask me. I can provide to a cell number to make it alot easier.
You will need to remove the heater control box which is 8 bolts/nuts and comes out quite easy.

The way to get around the cab issue is to massage the cab near the driverside rear head bolt. You only need enough clearance to pull the bolt up enough to remove it with the head. Just peel the heat shield back first. Use plenty of lubricant on the up-pipe bolts as they like to seize. Since you will be removing the turbo, get the upgraded feed and drain lines. They help with flowing more oil thru the turbo to help keep it cooler. I have done this job more time than I fair to count. If you need to know anything dont hesitate to ask me.

Pm sent. If you need it i can give you a complete parts list of what I would reccomend along with a HG change. I know you have some of the parts. But there is complete list of things to look out for while doing the job. I know I gave a list a while ago but I dont thing I included everything.

The Zoodad mod helps even with a aftermarket Intake.
Let me know when you want the tune and I'll get you one from Vivian with my discount.
If you plan to service the rearend, the 08 finned rearend cover is less that $60 bucks, would be a good time to install that at the same time.
