Q: How to Install the Timing Cover and Its Components on 2007 Dodge Ram 3500?
A: Before you install the timing cover, first wash the block and timing chain cover well, then install a brand-new gasket. Check that the timing cover bushings are correctly fixed, place the cover on the engine, add the new gasket and tighten all fasteners (28 Nm) except the large lifting stud (55 Nm). After that, fit the oil pan and pick up tube, then move on to the A/C compressor, generator, power steering pump, dipstick support bolt, thermostat housing, crankshaft damper, accessory drive belt tensioner assembly and both idler pulleys. Then, fit the lower radiator hose, two heater hoses, radiator fan shroud, fan and fan drive, accessory drive belt, coolant and washer bottles, the upper radiator hose and air cleaner assembly. After that, add coolant to the cooling system, change the engine oil and connect the battery's negative terminal.
