Timing belt was last done on this engine at 161,500 miles; truck now has 188,000. Almost four years of ownership and a whopping 27K miles.

I did absolutely nothing yesterday. Gotta get on this today, though. Must have had something to do with staying at my brother's house drinking beer until the wee hours Thursday night...

First determining factor will be the clearance I end up with after removing the radiator. I'm removing that not only for clearance, but also to see about lowering it 2" since the shroud would grind on the fan at times when wheeling.

I'll probably slap some new belts on as well, provided the rest of the operation goes smoothly. Just waiting on some daylight now...
