Hell if you can hold a wrench in your hand you can change a head gasket. So in short yes its easy...it is however very time consuming.

Not exactly.
Over head cams etc = nightmare, getting a chain one tooth out = car runs like an old goat.
However not exactly impossible to figure out Tony.
Get yourself a workshop manual if you are worried (usually find them online) and all your parts would be less than $100 ( head gasket, inlet, exhaust, oil) - assuming the 5.9 is a v8? if so identify which bank has the problem.
