Re: Alternator belts

I think in the diesel, the w/p is built in? In which case you will loose most if not all the coolant, but I've only a V6 to look at! Try a search on the forum to find out!

Re: Cooked ECU

The diagrams for the ECU's were never completed, the boards became multi-layer and there were lots of versions released with no documentation as to changes available :-( The general wiring diagrams are still available in Flash format and there are still browsers available which will display them see ...
