    you can run it if you put the crank pulley on. its fine for a 30 second- 1 minute run to make sure it all works. BUT THE CRANK PULLEY HAS TO BE ON

    Well guys, truck starts and runs good, has no leaks, as of right now, lol. I wasn't happy about things not lining up perfectly like I thought they should, but all seems to be good.
    The other issue I had was getting the crank Bolt tightened to 217 foot pounds. I rented a torque wrench that was about a foot and a half long that made things a little difficult, needed to be more like 2 and 1/2 to 3 ft long . And I also tried doing it without the crank tool and tried to use the engine which didn't work until I realized I needed to do it in 5th gear. Once I got that figured out I got her done.
    Thanks again for your help, since this was my first time it no doubt would have been a disaster if it weren't for you and a couple YouTubers.
