I have not bought rod bearings yet but they're part of the plan
I would've loved to pull the engine out and just overhaul the entire thing but I don't have a lift nor a good way to lift the truck high enough to pull the engine out.
The plan is to drop the subframe and transmission + differentials and go from there.
Rear coolant cover is a weak point and hardest to get to (can potentially leave you stranded if it decides to leak) and often leaks around 100-150k mile mark and requires the transmission to be dropped to gain access (it's at the back of the motor, sandwiched between the transmission and the motor).
