Horrible Running

[pennyman1]

sounds like the timing belt is off - did you go by the manual or the threads on here - the manual has you off by 1 tooth. Did you check the valve lash adjustors to make sure they were not compressed? did you make sure the silent shaft belt was lined up with the marks when you did the timing belt - 1 tooth off there and the motor will try to shake itself out of the truck.

Thanks for the feedback pennyman,

Edit: after looking at the close up pictures, it does seem like i am off a tooth on the cam, however I thought I had switched it back one because the other way didn't work either. I will align properly tomorrow evening and see if that works for me. ALSO, would there be any reason for the previous owner to mark the cam sprocket with that black arrow and white dot??

I agree, it sounded like bad timing to me and that's why I had gone back and double checked it.

The valve lash adjusters are 2 weeks old and I did take them out. They all looked normal. Timing belt A and B are both lined up. I'm assuming the silent shaft is the one belt B (the smaller one) is connected to. I did not have to adjust that one as it was already aligned when I had done the timing belts two weeks prior. I will take pictures and post momentarily.

How do you mean the manual has me off by one tooth??
