i'm trying to order parts to do a timing belt and water pump on my truck. it's a 94 with a 3vze. they want to know for the tensioner if its hydraulic or spring loaded. being a 94 wouldn't i have the hydraulic? and for the water pump they need to know if i have an oil cooler. where would i locate that if my truck has it? trucks is a 4x4 5speed if that matters.

 

94 has the hydraulic tensioner.

Oil cooler's on the driver's side of the engine block.

 

I'd find a new place to order parts that can tell YOU that not the other way around.

:wabbit2:

 

hey man, thanks for the info. pretty sure i've noticed the oil cooler under there before.

 

Edit: Miss read OPs post.

 

They were all on the driver's side. If they were there at all. He asked where it was located, so I wanted to be as specific as possible. Thus the verbal explaination, and pictoral display. I figured by just looking at the pic, he could possibly think he was looking at the passenger's side. Then, not knowing any better, look there and not find it. Then potentially be wrong in thinking the engine didn't have one. I guess I could have added some text and an arrow to the .jpg depicting the front of the engine. That didn't seem as easy as just saying "driver's side" though.

 

i believe 92 and up had hydraulic tensioner if you got a 94 you should too

 

Depends on the MFG date if its a 92. My 92 was made in the end of feb, and its a spring tensioner.
