Howdy. OK, this is my first Dodge, and my first full size pickup. Just bought it a couple weeks ago. It's at 150k miles and the timing chain is doing its thing. Already have the new timing set with the tensioner that Chrysler neglected. I'm planning on starting on it in the morning, but the only question I have is which Harmonic Balancer Puller I'm going to need from the Zone.

OK. Got the timing chain done and she runs great. Problem now is that the flywheel is hitting either the starter or the bendix. I've tried shimming it with some washers and now it's free when in park or neutral, but starts hitting again when it's put into drive. When I took the starter off the nut on bottom wasn't even tight. I took it off by hand. Tried torquing the top bolt and leaving the nut loose like before and it didn't make a difference. Any suggestions or am I just doomed to trial and error till it's right?
