hello,
I just picked up a 97 ex. cab, long bed 4x4 5spd. with 164000 miles on it. P/O told me that it has a 4kgsk, 370 injectors, fuel plate (which one I dont know yet), afe stage 1, 4" silverline 304SS (I just put this on over the weekend), He also said it had a bigger turbo housing (need to measure), he also said that he put in the 1 3/8" shaft if the trans, and a ?button? clutch that would hold 650hp, he said it was a southbend, (how can I find out?).

He also said the first owner did the KDP. I can see that the cover has been off, because of the new RTV sealer. The thing is the cover is leaking a very small amount of oil from the bottom of the cover. So, I figured I would take off the cover to re-seal it and while I was at it i would do the KDP if it wasnt done and do the timing (P/O said timing was never done.)

I was wondering if anyone could help a brother out? I would like to borrow or rent someones timing tools for a day or two to do my timing, or if somebody would like to come and give me a hand who has the tools. My bro has a heated 6 car garage that fits my truck (unlike my garage)

I live outside 40 miles out of Chicago in a town called Plainfield, bro is in Lockport.
If anyone is intrested let me know. E-mail is gaydusek@sbcglobal.net.
thanks
