[83Ram50TDinPA]

Can I hear from anyone that has replaced a timing belt on a 4d55T while in the vehicle ? Please comment on if the radiator needs to be removed, problems encountered, what to ALSO do while doing the belt. Best belt to use, etc., etc., all information appreciated.

looks like the same amount of room in the truck as my starion. First time i did it i pulled the radiator, 2nd time i didnt.

Honestly its super easy, get it as close to TDC before taking it apart, pull belts, replace pulleys, install belts, make sure its tight on bare side, turn motor a few times and make sure timing marks still line up.

It is still easier with the rad out

I'm going to remove the radiator, and entire front grill, bumper area. Do you have a list of everything needed ? I just put up another post asking for this information. Once I get all of it, I'm going to ask to have a seperate link to it.
