2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Camshaft Parts and Q&A
Q: How to Service a Camshaft Properly on 2006 Dodge Ram 1500?
A: Service the camshaft right by taking off the cylinder head cover and positioning the engine at TDC for cylinder No. 1 while the camshaft V marks are at 12 O'clock. Place one mark on the chain equal to the V6 mark on the camshaft sprocket at each side for easier installation. Refrain from touching or forcing the camshaft target wheel to stop damage. Leave the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt in place and just loosen it, making sure it remains tight to the sprocket. Secure the timing chain tensioners before removing the camshaft sprockets, as this will keep them from stretching, so you don't have to remove the timing chain cover. Hold Special Tool 8379 between the chains and hit it to push the timing chain against the tensioner arm and guide. First, remove the camshaft position sensor and then put Special Tool 8428 onto the camshaft and remove the bolt and the sprocket. Take the camshaft bearing cap retaining bolts off gradually so you don't hit the camshaft bearing caps by accident and damage them. Mark the rocker arms before taking out the camshaft bearing caps and the camshaft. When installing, apply oil to the camshaft journals and place the right side camshaft so the sprocket dowel is near 10 o'clock to help you place the bearing caps more smoothly. First, put in the front camshaft bearing cap, then the second cap and so on to the back until they are all facing the front of the engine. Use ½ turns to tighten all bearing cap retaining bolts from the central cap to those at the edges and then torque them to 11 Nm. Bring the camshaft drive gear into contact with the timing chain at the same time as the V6 point on the camshaft and both chain marks. Turn the camshaft with Special Tool 8428 until the dowel lines up with the slot in the sprocket and next, fit the sprocket into the gear. Give a gentle turn to the camshaft sprocket bolt and eliminate any oil, then apply 122 Nm of torque to the bolt along with Special Tool 6958 and 8346 adapter pins. After that, reconnect the camshaft position sensor and install the cylinder head cover once again.
