You might as well change the front seal and the bypass hose while your in there. Have fun!

 

Yeah will do; also does the timing line up easy on these?

 

Yes, and do yourself a favor and at least get a Haynes manual if you don't already have one.

 

Willdo, I also got Alldata at work too.

 

Good deal..That's way better than a Haynes manual.

 

Looks like your pretty much set. BTW make sure you either have a parts store within walking distance or an other set of wheels. You'll be making at least 2 unexpected trips. If you want to practice, go to a bone yard and find yourself a ram. Then have at it. It'll give you and idea at what your up against.

 

Yeah I got another car and sounds like a good deal gonna have some fun

 

Timing chains are easy...Just PAY ATTENTION to all parts. when i did timing cover, i separated the bolts into different bags. (IE: a/c &alt. bracket bolts...Water pump bolts...etc.)
make sure everything is clean.


but might i suggest a double roller chain?

 

I'd like to also suggest something, and that would be for him to put ALL the info about his truck in his SIG.

 

Would a SC count as an effective tune?

I was planning on doing a 180* t-stat later.
