Good day all!!
Well, I figured it was time to finish this up for those that are interested... This last part is just going over all the little things I found while getting it all back together... Like the DS cam sensors... One had to be different but fits in both locations... The starter solenoid looks like the crank sensor connector... Wires are about the same length too...
Starting where the pictures start..... These two tensioners are almost mirror images of each other... If you are confused as to which location they go, just look at the wear on the pulley... The narrow belt goes with the A/C and the other below the PS pump...
Don't put the Alt in until the PS pump is in and this bracket that uses the PS pump bolts... The oil cooler lines mount to the other end of this bracket buried under the Alt...
Then these go on... Wide belt is by the Alt... Narrow belt is for A/C...
Okay, I may have mentioned this already, but don't actually install the Alt until the wires are connected up... I tried to get them connected after it was installed... I just don't think it is possible... But this works... Rather well with no cooling hoses and such in the way... Haven't tired it with everything else installed...
New belts in place...
DS cam sensors... Oh, I don't know... after-thought maybe... realoem doesn't have the different one in their picture... I have not heard or read about an extension wire to use the other type of sensor...
Here is how they go in... (I got the SES for DS exhaust cam over-advanced upon initial start-up... Figured I had these backwards... They weren't, but the SES fault for the cam went away... Maybe air pocket in the vanos or something)... Intake cam is the wire version... That connects up to the wire box... that connector is the one on the far left of the pic... with the bend in the boot...
I'm not positive if the oil dipstick tube uses this bracket, but it seems more logical than the wiring loom under it...
Coil grounding wires... Coils are not in yet... I want to prime the oil pump with no compression... No plugs are in yet either...
Don't forget to hook this up behind the intake... If it just falls down behind the intake, it can get easily overlooked...
This is how the drive shaft comes apart... This came out like this after I pulled the motor... I had a super hard time moving the drive shaft back into the transfer case... I really should have taken a picture prior to cleaning and greasing the splines... I wasn't done when I took the picture...
Cooling hoses... These were pretty much a puzzle... Not to difficult to figure out... They identify where they go by just fitting them at the possible locations...
Green marks help!!!
Okay, minor setback was this HUGE O-ring in the radiator side of the bottom hose... Figured previous tech lost the original and used what they had... I'm not sure how it worked up to this point, but it makes sense as to why I could not get the hose off!! I almost cut the hose and dealt with it after the radiator was out... I got the correct O-ring!!
Here is where I primed the oil pump... Just a couple pics of the chain moving and getting clean oil on it...
Stationary... My better half is helping me with the starter...
Okay all!! This is the part I am reluctant to reveal, but.... So, I got it primed and now I'm ready to start it... Plugs are in... Coils are in... everything is connected... Coolant is in... No leaks... All the drive line components are back in... All I have to do is replace the fuel pump fuse and turn the key... So, I did that... I replaced the fuse and turned the key a few times to prime the fuel system that had been disconnected... Turned the key and nothing... WHAT?! Oh crap!!
So, I didn't have fuel... Checked the fuse, and low and behold it was popped... Not sure why there were blown fuses in the ashtray... Found one other that was popped... Put a good one in and still nothing... Double crap... Pulled the back seat to check voltage at the pump, knowing the fuse is now good... This is what I found under the back seat... The positive part here is there was enough money in this to pay for the power to run the shop vac... LOL!!!
After... My better half and I spent the good part of two hours cleaning this... Got the garden hose out and everything!!
Okay, I finally traced my steps and found that I somehow put the fuel pump fuse in an "unused" location... Once in the correct position, she fired right up... No clank, tick, ping, or ding!!
Topped off the cooling and let it idle for a while... checked the SES codes and the cam timing and trans fail safe came up... cam timing went away and I'm dealing with the trans now...
Oh, I changed the front diff oil since I had spilled some after pulling it...
I ran the initial oil for a couple hours run time... Then changed it and the filter with Mobil 1...
That's it so far... Dealing with the trans issue now... I wonder if I should include that segment in here as well... I put it in a different thread...
Thanks for tuning in!!!
Cheers all!!!
