The Rocker Arm in Dodge Dakota vehicles plays the electronic part in the valvetrain system by passing movement from the pushrod to the intake & exhaust valves. Usually made of Stamped steel or aluminum the rocker arm translates the movement of the pushrod toward the vertical to the required force towards down for the opening of the valve. High-RPM applications use aluminum for its light weight nature while casting or forged carbon steel or cast iron is common in diesel engines for its strength. It is important to note that Rocker Arms for Dodge Dakota models may vary to consist of Traditional Rocker Arms as well as Roller Rockers. As for roller rockers they are useful for both overhead valve and overhead camshaft engines as they are equipped with needle bearings which minimize contact friction. Modern engines use rocker ratio of between 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 to enhance performance by increasing the lift of the camshaft. Other examples of use include higher stress fortified fulcrum bearings for Wichita balanced high RPM Dodge Dakota engine bulk across stress situations.
Dodge Dakota Rocker Arm Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Remove a Rocker Arm on Dodge Dakota?A:Before you remove the valve rocker arm, remove the negative Battery Cable to avoid the engine accidentally starting. After that, take out the cylinder head cover. To remove the rocker arm on cylinder No. 4, move the Crankshaft so that cylinder No. 1 is at intake bottom dead center. When working on cylinder No. 1, adjust the crankshaft so that BDC in the combustion stroke is reached. Rotate the crankshaft for cylinders No. 3 and No. 5 until you reach the exhaust stroke position on cylinder No. 1. Cylinders No. 2 and No. 6 should be rotated so that cylinder No. 1 reaches TDC at the ignition stroke. Afterward, with the Remover/Installer 8516A (2), press down on the valve spring to remove the rocker arm.
- Q: How to Service and Repair a Rocker Arm on Dodge Dakota?A:You should start the process by first taking off the engine cylinder head cover. Inspect the rocker arms for anything on the bridges that may lead to a misalignment near the valve tip. At each bridge and the pivot assembly, turn the capscrews just one turn each before removing them, so they don't get twisted or damaged. Carefully take off the bridges, pivots and their matching rocker arms, arranging them on the bench as you removed them. Also, pull the push rods out and arrange them neatly side by side on the bench. Use cleaning solvent to clean all the parts and then blow compressed air through each of the oil passages in the rocker arms and push rods. Before installing, grease both ball ends of the push rods with Engine Oil Supplement or an equal substance and place them back where they belonged, making certain the tip is centered in the tappet cap seat. Apply Mopar Engine Oil Supplement or a replacement product to the pivot contact area on the rocker arm and then install the rocker arms, pivots and bridge at the original locations above each cylinder. Screw in the capscrews only until the bridge is loose at each bridge with each set and then tighten them in opposite directions by 1 turn at a time to keep the bridge intact, using a torque of 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Installing the engine cylinder head cover should be the final step.
