Yep, and it works better than I had hoped for.
I bought it to remove a frozen bolt with a stripped head from a driveshaft yoke 
on a truck with a leaky gas tank (not mine). Fire was not an option. I have 
used it many times since with much success. Frozen brake bleeder? Not problem. 
Can't seem to get a brake line loose, and don't feel like stripping it? Not an 
issue.

Have you used the induction heaters?
The shop that my son works in took out the torches and provided 
induction heaters.

The mechanics were not impressed and the torches are now back.
I think they still have the induction heaters but don't know if they 
ever use them.

If you've ever used a fire extinguisher in a panic, you know.

Depends on whether there's enough room to get a nutbreaker on the nuts.
If you break the nuts open, then you can try to clean the stud threads 
after you take the manifold off.
But breaking nuts is harder than unscrewing nuts, if only the nuts could 
be unscrewed...

Pump controller more than the pump.

A bigger issue is head gasket.  It can be done with the engine in the car, but 
reaching the back isn't great.  Removing broken off head bolts from the back is 
not so fun.  Too much other stuff in the way limiting options.

Intake manifold?  Easy.

Exhaust?  A bit harder.

Yeah, the 6.5 is also known for injection pump issues. I expect if it hasn't 
been off yet it needs to be.

You could throw a bunch of money at that pretty easily...
