Naked AV, A+ writeup dude 
sheered the driveshaft!!!
Ya I'd say you are doing well 
Camshafts are difficult to figure out in the beginning. A few minutes on the phone with knowledgeable engine builders/tuners is a good place to get information.

You obviously had some experienced help. What was your total time from start to finish? Do you still have the stock fan?? If so, did it have to be removed? After being a part of this one, do you think that you could do it yourself?? Id like to get my cam in before years end but have 2 probs. 1. no one other than me will ever work on my truck 2. only know one friend that has the knowledge of cam swaps that could help, but he works quite a bit and probably wouldnt be too excited to spend his weekend under the hood of my truck.

Yes, I have the stock fan and we took it fan off the pulley, but I'm not sure we had to. Perhaps moregrip can chime in with his opinion.
Total time was ~18 hours. That certainly does not reflect at all on the quality of the assistance; actually, it has more to do with the only thing I had ever done before on a car of mine was change the oil. I was constantly asking questions the entire time and when in doubt, was backing up and double (sometimes triple) checking. I bet if I had it to do all over again I could knock that time in half. And I would venture that I could probably do it myself, once I found out where to put the bar to stop the motor from turning over (required to manipulate the crank pulley/bolt).

Thanks man. I guess I'll wait until I can get some experienced help. Sounds like a real job either way. Good luck with the truck, sounds like its really going to move once you get it running again
