Does this make sense? Repair strategy advice, please.

I have 2000 SR5 (176K miles) with a solid front axle on 37" tires. It's streetable, but I drive it mainly to the wheeling trails and back home.

The ac compressor is seized.
The timing belt is original.
The waterpump is original.
There's a high pitch whistle from the power steering pump or alternator, not sure. It's not a squealing power steering pump.
The SRS fault light is always on.

Does it makes the most sense to tackle the entire repair as one ginormous project? Maybe do it all except the SRS? Any common sense is appreciated.

 

The SRS is a separate issue, but yeah, I would say tackle it as one project, in three distinct phases. Pull the front end of the truck off, give yourself lots of room to work, and it should be fairly simple.

 

assuming 3.4 here... timing belt and water pump done at the same time, everything else can be done on your time frame.

 

Thanks for the input.

 

yeah, 3.4. Thanks for the suggestion.
