Ram 1500 Timing Chain
The Timing Chain in Ram 1500 car models is quite important in ensuring proper operation, particularly through ensuring that the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft are in harmony with a view of maintaining proper valve timing. It is sited front of the engine and it has to be lubricated to properly work and it is mostly used in high displacement engines. Timing chains, particularly Metal Timing Chains have been on the rise since the '90s because of their longevity and activities of replacement in comparison to rubber timing belt. Timing chains in Ram 1500 models are pretty durable with little wear but if any complications come with their lubrication or the tensioner and chain guides, you will hear a rattle. As for the crank driven pushrod, a short chain drive is used since it can reverse the torque direction much better and more quietly than the gear drives.

Ram 1500 Timing Chain Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Timing Chain in 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8 engine on Ram 1500?A: The removal of timing system components begins with precautions given the complexity of the system and also possibility of severe engine damage as a result of an unskillful handling. These involve disconnecting the battery, draining the cooling system and removing various engine parts like the cooling fan, drivebelt, fan shroud, heater hoses, radiator hose, power steering pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor etc. The valve covers are then taken off to aid camshaft sprocket alignment and prevent piston-valve contact also. This process requires that you position No. 1 pis- ton at TDC on the exhaust stroke and remove crankshaft damper/pulley timing chain cover and water pump as a unit noting location and bolt types. Additionally these secondary chain tensioners are removed while taking care to detach camshaft sprockets without damaging camshafts. At this stage again these chains have been removed as one assembly along with idler sprocket and crankshaft sprocket that must be positioned accurately for maintaining alignment throughout this entire step. This is followed by inspection of components such as wear or stretch in chains plus proper operation of tensioners/guides. For installation purpose they are reassembled onto idler sprocket while carefully aligning camshaft chains together with primary chain right on a bench top. After that re-check every process applying it again into another engine revolution through two complete turns before finally tightening all remaining bolts with sealer/gasket integrity kept up to its capacity. It ends by changing oil filter as well as filling up cooling.
