it is complicated now that i have to ALSO remove the fan to remove the shroud for proper clearance to get at it all

the gen1 shroud is in two pieces... don't have to remove the fan to remove the shroud, unlike the gen2 4cylinder

You don't need to remove any of that unless you're clueless. Don't make a job harder than it is.
 
What are you a 5 year old? It's so simple, 20 minute job unless you need a new tensioner. If you know any other kids ask them to give you a hand.

Truck has 77k, it's a 2o11
Dealer recommended belt change at 60k
Perhaps this is the nasty cold weather squeal popping up,?

Dealer wants 280$ for belt service
How challenging is this task to do
What all needs removed for access

It must take good time if dealer has 1.5 hours or so for this task
