Dodge Ramcharger Timing Chain
The Timing Chain in Dodge Ramcharger vehicles helps to maintain the synchronization between the operation of the camshaft and crankshaft to enable the proper timing of the valve as required for proper functioning of an automobiles engine. Placed at the front side of the engine, this chain is metallic and is optimal used for high displacement engines it has to be lubricated most of the time. Timing chains have been incorporated in Dodge Ramcharger models since 1990s, because they are more long-lasting than rubber timing belts, which are slippery, and require frequent replacement. Timing chains are usually very durable but problems are usually associated with lubrication or in the tensioner and the chain guides and such can be identified by a rattle sound coming from the front of the engine. A short chain drive is used in pushrod engines as it reduce noise as well as wear and tear thus can suit the design of the Dodge Ramcharger well.

Dodge Ramcharger Timing Chain Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and install the Timing Chain and Timing cover in V8 engine on Dodge Ramcharger?A:Drain the cooling system and remove the water pump. If applicable, remove the power steering pump. Take off the fuel lines and fuel pump. Remove the pulley from the vibration damper, along with the bolt and washer attaching the damper to the Crankshaft, while locking the crankshaft by holding the Flywheel with a suitable tool; a large breaker bar or impact wrench will be necessary for the crankshaft bolt removal. Use a puller to detach the damper. For 318/360 engines, loosen the Oil Pan bolts and remove the pan bolt on each side. Take off the timing cover bolts and remove the cover, being careful not to damage the oil pan gasket at the front on 318/360 models. Measure the chain stretch, then remove the Camshaft bolt, and for 316/380 engines, also take off the cup washer and fuel pump eccentric. Remove the chain along with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. Install the crankshaft timing gear and the shaft key, followed by the timing chain assembly and the fuel pump eccentric cam. Ensure the timing marks are aligned on the inside edges of the timing gears before tightening the camshaft gear bolt to the specified torque. Apply assembly lubricant to the outside diameter of the fuel pump eccentric cam, then install a new crankshaft front seal in the timing chain cover. Use ATV-type sealant to hold the timing chain cover gasket in place, install the timing chain cover, and tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. Lubricate the seal contact surface of the vibration damper, then use a sleeve and bolt type installation tool to install the vibration damper; if unavailable, a large wooden block and hammer can be used as a substitute. Lock the crankshaft and install the damper mounting bolt, tightening it to the specified torque. Finally, install the power steering pump if applicable, the water pump, and refill the cooling system.
