Water pump and timing belt in. Just need to button up a few things tomorrow. My old belt was stretched about 2/3 of an inch! New one is tight and everything lined up perfectly. Had to get new tranny cooler soft lines...the old ones were hard and had no flex left in them. My 150000 mile water pump looked just as good as the new one. Keeping it for a "trail spare". Barts how-to was nice to refer to a couple times...especially in lining up the marks.
This job is way easier than I expected. I was expecting a 9 but it was a solid 5.
Next on the list...rear axle seals
