*water pump (cam driven pulley). That part can be solved but then you need to find the correct intake to appease the oxygen Nazis in Cali. I believe luck will be on your side. No doubt you have seen how many people have been unable to get their trucks to pass smog and some of them give up (a shame, but that creates supply for parts - which leads me to think that this truck was raped for parts by the crooked mechanic to fill a demand, b*stard...)
