Ordered a timing belt kit from RockAuto.com, after tearing into it I recieved the wrong tensioner. NOT RockAuto's fault, they delivered what they advertised, and quickly i might add. Apparently the 95's came with 2 different types of tensioner. All the info I have seen showed one with a coil spring providing the initial tension. After scrambling all afternoon I discovered another type referred to as hydraulic, by AutoZone, O'Relly, & Advance (no hydraulics involved).
Just to confirm, this is NOT RockAuto's fault, but before you down your only vehicle, make sure which type you have. As you are looking at the motor from the front of the truck, the dummy waterpump has a cylinder protruding toward the PS pump bracket if it's the "hydraulic type".
Also plan on making your own SST to hold the crank pulley while you break the bolt that's torqued to 181 ft/lbs. If you have a bench grinder, buy a piece of flat steel stock, & bore 2 holes 57mm apart & grind to clear the protrustions on the balancer, bolt it on & torque away.
Simple job should have taken 2hrs, bunred a whole day.
Forwarned is forarmed, end of rant.
BTW the flat stock I used was 3/16" x 1" x36".
