See if this helps you out.

 

You da man merc

 

Glad it helped you out, hope the job goes smooth for you.

 

Well it did until it came time to install the thermostat housing, fought with a leak for 4 hrs.

 

i got a bit of a question for you. how did you get the egr tube out of the back of the intake while it was on the truck? there is no room back there. i know i picked up a intake off a 94 and had to partially cut the tube and then lots of bending just to get it to break free. i think i smash the oil pressure sensor while i was at it.

 

Wolfie: Fully disconnect the nut that secures the EGR tube, unbolt the intake manifold, and slide it slightly forward before you lift it up and out. Then when you re-install it be very careful to make sure the rear gasket stays in place before you bolt the intake down.

 

i was just wondering how you get the nut off. i don't think i could have got a wrench back there if is tried. i know when i got to do it on my 93 i should not have that problem but if i need to replace that tube on my truck it might be nice to know how to get one off in 1 piece instead of 2.

 

Oh that. I had to snake my hand up there with the 17mm (I think) open end from underneath the truck. And seriously, if you can, just delete the EGR. Such a stupid idea...
