    Belt wrench is a great idea! Thanks. and for the water pump, if it's not leaking or showing signs of going out, do you think I should replace it anyway?? I guess it won't be a bad idea since it will be accessible... but still, that's another $150 for the pump.
    I think so... once the fan and radiator is out. :notsure:
    Wait.. You actually engage the starter and let it turn over once or twice??:eek:

    I made a spanner wrench out of 2" flat bar. Way quicker than removing the rad and using an impact driver. It also might not work and you'll have to use the spanner. Just make sure the spanner is long enough to reach the frame rail.

    Cracked my vc today. Last bolt on a final snug down. Fml it's the driver side too so it had me frustrated from the beginning. Yaaaayyyy no truck for 3 days. Got a new one on the way $40 so not too mad but common.

    That seems too risky to me. Throwing the cam off timing...
