hey i just got done ordering a few things
hug7720 plenum repair kit
hug7700 magnum intake bolt kit
hug1839180 degree thermostat
hug23139 oxygen sensor

grand total 208.71 with shipping

once it get heres in about 4-5 days i'm gonna put it on my truck

is there any other things i should consider doing while i'm installing these items?

i did my cap and rotor wires and plugs about 6 months ago so i'm gonna hold off on them for now unless you guess think i need to re do them.

i just used mid grade stuff when i did the plugs and etc

 

Timing chain

 

timing chain? i heard they wear out about 160k miles i'm rolling at 162k too..

i totally forgot about that do they install pretty straight forward or?

 

Water pump since you take it off why not replace it now. Bypass hose, catalytic converter, I would change the plugs again because it has been burning oil.

 

As for the timing chain, see about getting a double roller set. Like the one below. And make sure that when you put the gears back on, you line them up correctly.

Edit: Just ordered that set from Performance Parts website. Better shipping rates for Canada. Only $75 after tax and shipping

 

Did you order a programmer to go with that 180deg t-stat?

 

Don't forget to pick up all of your gaskets. Timing cover, exhaust manifolds, etc.

 

no i didn't ordering a programmer. i don't see why i'd need one right now.

as far as water pump goes and t chain. I'm gonna hold off on them after winter i'm gonna put a performance towing cam in from comp cams. and when i do that i'll replace the water pump and timing chain.

 

im guessing your live in canada aye? from jegs racing to my house is 9.99 i live here in the good ol usa

 

Yeah I live in Canada. It was $19.99 for shipping. Better than Summit. They wanted over $40 for shipping.
