It's basically all the same as an LA. DON'T pull the cam or distributor. That will mess up the sync with the PCM and it will need a special scanner to sync it.
Side note, my grandpa has a '96 1500 with a 5.9. It has 473k miles on it. The engine has had valve seals replaced while in the truck, and the plenum gasket replaced. They really are great engines.
thank you! I really just want to clean it up and reseal it and clean up the engine bay. I could just do the top-end but it seems like I'm half doing the job if I don't do the oil pan and clean things up real well...
