Hey, guys, it is really not that tough WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS. The timing belt (dayco) has marks on it. Line up the marks on the cam and crank, then put the belt on and count the # of teeth in between. The water pump is just 6 more bolts behind the t-belt. Yeah, I do have a personal compressor and aluminum scuffy pads I use to clean the surface in about 2 minutes of gasket material, then the reassembly begins. Don't forget a new thermostat and gasket with just a touch of Brittney - er.. I mean, silicone to help seal. clean it all up and reassemble. You will need a crank pulley puller and I think a 21 or 24 mm crank bolt socket. I use air tools so I think I have this job down to like 2 hours on my truck and about 3 on my max. Best tip I have is use the 6,8,10,12,14 mm sockets with swivels and short extensions in 1/4 drive. The first time you do it, it will proably take about 8 hours while you are trying to figure out where all the hidden bolts and stuff are, but it is not that bad. That - or pay one of your friends a couple hundred dollars and have them swap out the water pump, the timing belt, all the exterior belts, and a cooling system flush, that should help.
