Thus spake Wes
<<first note: last time I did this, dodge sold me everying thing in one sort
of "kit", now they claim they've never had such a thing... so this is why I
ask.

I am about to perform the timing chain tensioner TSB, and wanted to make
sure I got all the necessary parts before I start the job (as I am a poor
bastard, and dont have money for parts I forgot to buy). I've already
purchased the timing chain tensioner... and am about to get a timing chain
and gear set from bernd.... I know I am going to need some gaskets, and
radiator fluid.

I need waterpump, and frontseal? is that it?

Wes>>

Wait a minute! Hold everything! Are you saying the water pump needs to be
replaced in order to do the tensioner TSB? If so, my mechanic owes me a
water pump.. I had the timing chain replaced when I bought the truck (and
the dealer paid for it!), and now my water pump appears to be going south
for the winter... I've got an on-again-off-again leak.
Later,
Jon
