I would recommend having a set of pulleys on hand, just in case, they can always be returned. If you need to replace the accessory belt tensioner pulley, be careful. It is a LEFT HAND THREAD! I found out the hard way.
We used a haynes manual for instruction. Everything went smooth. Skip the step about removing the grill. Not necessary. Do it yourself, save some $'s, and learn a little more about your truck.
may i ask how long it took you and your dad to complete the job?
