About how long does it take to change the cam? If a shop did it how much would it cost.

Changed the cam in my old truck in about 10 minutes... of course, the engine was out of the truck and the heads were already off. Doing it while it's still in the truck will be interesting, I think at the least you need to pull the radiator out (so you can slide the cam out/in). You'll definatly need to pull the intake manifold off to do the lifters, and the harmonic balance, timing chain cover, and timing chain all need to come off. Your probally looking at 4 - 6 hours, depending on how many 'breaks' you take. The actual replacement isn't hard, it's getting everything out of the way so you can do it thats time consuming!
