SOURCE: Looking for Diagram and steps for replacing Timing Belt

This is a major job and not advised for a beginner without guidence, If your dead set on doing it yourself, make sure you have someone to fall back on if you make mistakes. I would suggest that you buy a workshop manual from a parts store and follow the instructions from there, $20 well spent. Good luck and safe driving.

I am assuming you have the 3.3 litter v-6?I just did my own so I can offer you a few words of personal advice. Make sure, before you remove the crank shaft pulley, that the engine is at TDC. There is a pointer on the lower timing cover that should line up with the mark that is furthest to the left on the crank pulley (looking at it from the front of the truck). If you are replacing the timing belt for maintenance, not failure, make several marks on the cam pullies to the rear of the timing cover with a paint pen before removing the old belt and make sure that everything stays aligned to those marks upon reassembly. If this method is not an option, use the timing dimples on the back of the upper timing cover only as reference points for the cam pulleis (this is where I ran in to trouble). What is most important is that there are exactly 40 teeth on the belt between the marks on the cam pullies and 43 teeth between the right cam pully mark (right cam as you look at the engine from the front of the truck) and the mark on the crank pully. I used a Goodyear Belt that actually had marks that indicated the 40 and 43 tooth increments. Make sure you have the belt on the right directon, arrows to the front of the truck. Again it is very important that the crank pully remain at TDC (top dead center) during the entire process. Good luck, hope you get it the first time and not the second like me!!

Below are some diagrams for you. I also gave you the proper order when installing the belt and it does need to be in this order. Also I have had it to where I was sure that it was lined up when it wasn't and don't ask me why so I would rotate the engine a couple of times (clockwise) and then check your marks again just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps...
