A general question. I found it very hard to position myself while working on #6 injector for example or the nuts at the back of the intake? What's the normal approach to positioning oneself for the above work? I found myself sitting on the cross member at the radiator with my legs straddled...

Hi All, I did what in my books is a fairly big job but turned out to be pretty straight forward and has given me confidence to do more on the engine side. The truck is a completely different animal to drive. Much quiter on cold starts, more power on low down revs, much different in power...
