You can print out the correct belt routing online and clear tape it under the hood for future reference. Mechanics hand cleaner will negate the chemicals so maybe throw a bottle in the truck with some water and blue towels. Get a few mechanics lights ( I use Milwaukee M12), they are low light and can be recharged faster than they are used if you have an inverter and a charger and more than one M12 battery. A head lamp is also a winner. Jocko would say "good" about what happened to you. Embrace the struggle since we are not dead and whatnot. I try.... I really do. In other news, be glad you were not in Ohio yesterday at least, the wind was ridiculous and most aggravating. I was very happy when I got back to the Appalachia hills. I probably should never leave. I might be starting a roadside recovery gig after I do some truck upgrades and will be able to respond to these types of issues in the future. Wouldn't have helped yesterday though, cause I was being blown over in Ohio.. Your positive attituded during adversity continues to impress me. You guys are doing great. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance. I will try to friend you on Facebook so we can communicate.
Everything happens for a purpose. Life is a roll a coaster ride. You have your ups and downs, so enjoy it because when the ride is over, it’s over. As with everything you’re very resourceful. Glad you made it
You have an easy pump. My kia spectra water pump is driven by a timing belt. Its supposed to be changed on a 60K mile schedule because a pump failure would break the belt and trash the engine. What a dumb design. 😶 Glad you got it sorted out.
I've heard this now from several people. My neighbor in KY says he has an EcoBoost engine and Ford made a mess of that design. YOu have to take half the engine apart to get to it!

I believe enjoying the ride is correct! I've never changed the water pump before, but that doesn't mean I can't learn!
