Would you please email me the detailed instructions for changing the timing belt and water pump on my 2001 Trooper? Also, what other parts are commonly recommended to be changed as well -- I have heard various idlers, tensioners, etc? Will I need new seals or gaskets for covers or anything besides the water pump? Will a pulley holder that works on crankshaft of Honda/Acura cars fit the Trooper's crank pulley bolt setup?
Must I purchase Isuzu oem or are the Gates or Beck/Arnley parts equivalent?
Any suggestions, hints, advice appreciated.
I am experienced, my son who will help me is an ASE certified tech for Cadillac.
Thanks much for this assistance and service.

Tensioners, oil seals and water pump would be recommended for replacement.
The pulley holder for Honda won't work.
OEM is what I recommend but after market is good enough if the quality is renown.
Check the file I sent for more details.
