Most importantly is did the removal tool come with an installation tool? The pulley must NOT be pressed onto the pump shaft, or the new pump will be
damaged. It has to be drawn on, using the threads inside the shaft. Usually a long threaded stud with a bearing plate or some flat washers, and a nut
to draw the pulley down onto the shaft. Worked at auto parts stores for years, saw quite a few pumps come back damaged from pulleys being pressed on,
or even worse, hammered!

Yes they come with the tooling to draw the pully on.

I also have the red cased one but it looks like the gray cased one is the same.

Return that self exciting alternator, it's a bad idea.
remote sensing is especially important on the GMC since it measures the voltage after the long supply wire and after the isolator, were talking almost a full volt at full power.
And if you do go with a big Alt, upgrade the wire too, the stock wire is too old and too small.
Don't let the smoke out!

> Are there any secrets to getting the air out of the system? Now I just have to install new high capacity water pump, new plastic fan and clutch, new self exciting 140 amp alternator, new isolator/ combiner combo, voltage regulator for Stewart warner temperature gauges, new voltage limiter for my radio and backup cam that burned out and I will be ready to drive it again. These machines are a labor of love.

I also got a grey one. Not sure what I'll do with it but it's always nice to get a new tool!
