The only reason that you HAVE TO remove the cab from the chassis with any of the Ford F250/350 diesels is that they use HEAD STUDS instead of head bolts--- you cannot get the head up high enough to clear the studs---I've been told that it is a FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR WARRANTY repair job to replace an engine in a 6.0 or 6.4 parts and labor because of all the labor involved !!!!-- I have a friend that has a 6.0 and the only reason that he has no problems is that he changes the oil and filter EVERY 2500-3000 miles uses nothing but Shell Rotella--YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER RELIGIOUSLY NO NORE THAN 5000 MILES!!!!--part of the problem here is that the 6.0/6.4 uses an oil pressure system to operate the injectors--- a tiny speck of dirt in the system and an injector does not open that cylinder runs lean/hot torches the head gasket and major problems---the 6.0 only has 4 head bolts per cylinder so the head tends to wanto lift off the block and presto bad head gasket---this engine has a EGR valve that is oil pressure operated--- dirty oil will not let the egr valve operate properly and NO POWER--- also there is afuel injection control module that goes bad ---bad batteries/insufficient voltage causes that---
