[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1841776, member: 26138"] Go too far then you get into the "while you're in there" situation and end up rebuilding the whole thing. Manifold hardware and gaskets for sure, even if they look okay. Super common on those. Definitely replace the rear main, oil pan is not a bad idea since you usually can't remove it in a 4x4 truck and it'll allow you to see what kind of condition the engine is in. I'd leave the head gaskets alone. Water pump isn't a bad idea if it hasn't been replaced before. Thermostat wouldn't hurt either. I would put a set a plugs in it as mentioned, they are a known problem on those. Coils take 5 minutes to swap out under the hood so I'd run them and keep a couple around. [/QUOTE]
