No services manual here. The car never came never came with one. My fault for not putting the info in. It’s a 2000 LS V8 3.9L (1st Gen)

Yeah not looking for pretty, just a fix. I’ll check out the butyl rubber as well. Finding the OEM replacement for that one has been a pain cause I’m not finding the OEM part number or name. If I had either one of those I’d be good to find a replacement (even if it’s from a Jag equivalent)

Bumping post and hoping for some helpful information

I’m trying to replace some hose lines after replacing my thermostat and housing. In the first pic I’m trying to find replacement grommets for the circled pieces. Can’t seem to find a part number for it. Second pic is of a hose or line that’s connected to the thermostat housing. Can’t seem to...

Just a few questions for all those who have put an electric fan in a Gen 1. I ordered the Derale 16833 fan along with a Derale Adjustable Fan Controller kit (pictures attached). I’m not running a switch. 1. Is it possible to have the fan turn on whenever I turn on the ac and before it starts...

Yeah under the #9 pulley and over the new #2 ribbed pulley then the rest stays the same?

Not making it harder was just getting clarification. Since I’m removing the hydraulic system I’m not trying to mess anything up and all the write ups for Gen 1s leave this part out. Since the whole hydraulic system is coming out then the pulley will come out with it. Replace the #2 pulley with...

The plan is to completely remove the whole hydraulic system and replace it with an electric fan. By the end of this I don’t want anything in it that had to do with the hydraulic system. That’s one of the reasons why I was asking about removing pulley #1 and all the questions about the rigged...

Sounds like I was really over thinking this. So once the hydraulic system is out 1. Can I completely remove the #1 pulley (hydraulic fan pump pulley)? If so, then the rest would go exactly as you said. Replace the #2 pulley with a ribbed pulley. Obviously the shorter belt (which will be p/n...

I’m just trying to get a better understanding of all of this so excuse me if I’m asking a lot of questions. It sounds like everyone who has done this has replaced the #2 pulley with a ribbed pulley and the current belt with a ridged/ribbed belt (K061000). Now from what it sounds the belt needs...

Alright so if I’m understanding you correctly by changing the #2 (unflanged) pulley to a ribbed pulley and changing the belt to a ribbed belt (6 ribbed), while changing how the belt is running (from a Gen 1 V8 to a Gen 2 V8 setup) all I’d have to do is replace the pulley and there’d be no need...

Why would I need to make the setup like a Gen 2 when some of the locations of the pullers are different sizes and in different locations?

So I’m preparing to do the electric fan swap on my 00 V8. I’ve read in a few guides that you need the K061000 serpentine belt and you need to switch the unflanged pulley with a grooved one that fits the belt. I’ve looked at the diagram of the belt set up. Can anyone help me understand... 1. If...

I’m looking at changing my instrument cluster lights to leds. I can’t seem to find the 2 different sizes that are in the cluster. Does anyone know what the 2 different sizes the cluster lights are?

I’ll definitely look into bank 1 sensor 2
