Has anyone here replaced their own OPG's and crank sprocket?
I got a quote from the guy I use most of the time for stuff I can't or don't want to do, so I'm considering doing them myself. Has anyone replaced their own and retimed the motor and everything? If I decide to do it myself, what should I look out for?

I had mine installed for me so not familiar with the install. I will say my cost was $1300 for parts and labor though just so you have comparison. Obviously a huge chunk of that was labor since the parts themselves are a $200-500 depending on brand. Mine were Boundary which I'm starting to see more and more vendors carry.

I'm assuming someone in Corpus did yours? If it's San Antonio, maybe you can let me know who did the install. I just watched a video

and there's no way I would try doing this with the motor still in the truck.

Beechmont Ford out of Ohio did mine along with the Whipple install when i bought the truck from them.
They're one of those 750+ HP for $39,995 dealers that's becoming pretty popular.
Sounds like your quote is about in line though.

Well that's certainly a thought, however the problem with that would be another complete re-tune. That would be another $650 on top of the cams and labor costs already quoted.
I don't think my guy here is really out of line with other folks. In fact he seems to be a bargain on a lot of the other work I've had one compared to some of the other shops. I offered him cash and he said he would do it for $1400, as he wouldn't have to pay credit card fees and could discount the tax.

Where are you...or where did you have this done? Was this all labor, or parts included? Maybe a dumb question.
