    I wanna get my gears done at rearend specialties in Santa Clara when I get gears. Let me know how your experience is with the rearend shop John. That's a hell of a lot closer to Turlock for me.

    So... I'm gathering the parts for the timing belt/water pump on my truck. I have (or have ordered)
    All aluminum radiator with cap
    High heat silicone upper/lower hoses

    Will be ordering the 15 piece timing belt/water pump kit next week, and then ordering a fan bracket/bearing.

    I've got the seal puller for the cam seals and just ordered the harmonic balacer tool this weekend.

    Looking to do the work in a few weeks... once I get everything collected. If anyone is curious (thinking about doing it on their truck) and wants to watch someone else cursing and swearing while they do it to their truck... before you try it on yours... let me know. I'll also have an adequate supply of beer for consuption.

    No worries... I was preoccupied when I posted originally... when I read it back, it was actually pretty vague.
