Timing the injection pump is not necessary. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-04C removal and installation fuel injection pump and disregard align the sprocket key wording.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
