Sounds like you got it right, but I'd rotate the engine over by hand a couple times with the cover off to verify everything is free and rotating properly.

exactly right from what you are saying. Good call on rotating the crank a few turns as well . Dont forget to put that reluctor ring back in front of the crank sprocket, i did momentarily and caught myself before putting any bolts back in the cover. Also, make sure that you hold the gas pedal down and crank a few times to build oil pressure in the tensioners before you actually start the truck. Holding the gas pedal down will prevent the engine from starting and allow pressure to get to the new parts so you do not jump a tooth. Let us know how it goes. Good luck
