Thank you for this suggestion. I cant believe I was going to try this without access from the top. It took more than 5 minutes but nowhere near a day. Maybe a half hour.
Well....ok 5 minutes was a bit optimistic. Glad it worked out well for ya.

I would strongly suggest pulling the seat, roll the carpet and insulation back, unbolt and remove the dog house. I've done it with the dog house installed....once. I won't pull my transmission without removing it now. It's well worth the 5 minutes spent.
Good luck!
I'll throw this out here, when I first got my truck it was exhibiting the same symptoms and I spent weeks chasing what everyone including myself was diagnosing as an air intrusion problem ( the glow plugs seemed to cycle for the proper length of time and when the glow plug light went out I would...

All good info. I'll be out of town all next week and it's not looking good for the home team work wise for the reminder of this week. I'll take some pics as I go and share my results. I'm definitely going to start easy I have a propensity to "over do things" as my wife politely reminds me. Cheers!
I installed a Luk kit on my '87 this past summer. I retained whatever clutch slave and master were on it when I started. I did however add the Ford small clutch master cylinder brace kit (less then $30.00) while everything was disassembled. I did have one (visible) fatigue crack next to the...
