Has anyone done this job on their own? How difficult is it, and about how many hours to complete?
Ironman, I had a heavy foot the whole 180,000 miles! That 4.7 V8 is bombproof! If changing it will give you piece of mind then I would change it bro. Sorry, haha I don't know how to change it by the way.
