I’ve got one torn apart on for a friend as we speak. Head bolts as mentioned above are another problem, along with the egr cooler failing. By far on a stock engine the High pressure oil system is the big issue.

Fords procedure on doing heads and head bolts among other things is to pull the cab from the chassis.
I told her to pass on it.

If pulling the cab, might as well just move it over to her wrecked pickup, but too much money for that. Her V-10 is no great prize anyway.

She actually sent me a link to a single cab 1995 K2500 with 7.4 and a/t for only $4500. It has 239K but still she could put a lot of money in it for that. I told her that I would buy it for myself if it had a 5.7 and five speed
