I have never commented, liked, or subscribed to anything ever. Not even sure I am doing it right. But me and my 15 year old son used the hell out of this video. I bet i watched the video 100 times during the process of the repair and everything went well. Never would have got it done without your video. Much appreciated. I couldn't in good conscience not comment after using it as a crutch to save $1000 by having someone do it.

Awesome video. I have the same problem on my 1995 dodge ram 1500 with 5.2 liter engine. I thought it was water pump but noticed when I removed the water pump I noticed water running from the upper left side of my block where timing chain cover is. Your video is so simple and very on point yet did in a timeless fashion, with all information that is needed to do the job. This was about the best video I have seen that was so on point and camera was very clear on every place you were working on. Thanks.. it really helped me

I like how you threaded the crank bolt out a little ways and used the puller with it. Much easier than looking for a socket to put in the crank hole, so you don't damage the threads. Great video!

Thanks for the video mate! I can appreciate how difficult the job was one handed just to be able to make us a video. Cheers 🇦🇺

I couldn't keep enough water in the system to pressure test and could never see where the leak originated. Replaced everything, belt, hoses, thermostat and housing. Put near a gallon of antifreeze in then heard a gurgle and watched the coolant run down the driveway. I must be getting old letting a MOPAR sneak up on me.

I have replaced my timing cover gasket twice now the first time around it held for about a month with a rubber gasket and RTV because this is the first rubber gasket I'd ever seen on a car I threw RTV on it as a matter of habit and I think that may have caused the leak and the timing cover itself to get micro cracks in it and start to leak currently I am trying to redo the timing cover because when I ordered a new timing cover I got a crappy gasket and it didn't seal and I used RTV on it. So I'm going to try to get another rubber gasket and not use RTV on it and see if it seals this time. I never got to see whether your video actually worked out when it came to the timing cover I assume it did. So this time around I'm going to try your method plus it's been recommended that I replace the bolts because I've had to pull them so many times they may be stretched this is on a 5.2 98 Durango.

How do the 3 stud bolts go back in? Short side in or out?

Is this the same process on a 3.9 as well?

I have 2002 dakota 3.9v6 basically same engine minus two cylinders. Few difference coolant reservoir

Question followed all the same steps in the video but when installing the chain does the off colored mark need to be in a specific place

The pulley bolt is 31mm and it is a bear to get off. I am trying to use a big screwdriver against the cross member underneath, to keep the pulley from turning and a breaker bar on the 30 mm socket but the screwdriver keeps slipping.

So you will spin the crank sprocket til it’s straight up, if the cam mark is on the upper half give the crank another rotation clockwise and point straight up. That should get the cam close. Remove chain and sprockets.

Do you have a link for that exact timing cover gasket?

If the timing chain gears have key ways, and you cannot put them on wrong, do you still have to line up the dots on the gears straight up and down? Or can you just put on the gears in the position they came off in?
