Its not that hard to take it off, but its time consuming.
You'll need to remove the following:
Doghouse and engine cover
Intake manifold (the upper part can suck)
Turbo
Thermostat housing (?)
I know that some people remove the AC compressor, but I'm not sure it is necessary.
I would just have the truck flatbedded over there and have them do the whole thing. The honest truth is that a diesel shop has pulled alot more 6.5 engines apart than your HUMMER tech. IMO that are more qualified to do the work then a dealership.
