Ram 3500 Timing Chain
The Timing Chain in Ram 3500 vehicles is used to make sure the camshaft and crankshaft rotates in its correct timing for proper valve timing which is very important for the engine. Situated in front of the engine, this metallic chain necessitates the application of lubricants in order to function properly and this type of chain is preferable in high utility, big engine cars over the rubber timing belts since they have to be replaced periodically. Ram 3500 engines have used many forms of Timing Chains in its production, especially in the pushrod engines which come with a short chain system. This design reduces noise and wear resulting from the gear drives particularly where there are frequent torque reversals. Timing Chains are usually durable though sometimes problems may be experienced through poor lubricant, or a faulty tensioner and chain sprockets, which one may hear ratting coming from the front of the engine. In general, the Timing Chain is a critical factor in ensuring the functionality of Ram 3500 vehicles.

- Q: How to remove and replace the timing chain and Timing Cover in 3.6L V6 engine on Ram 3500?A: It is very intricate and any mistakes could lead to serious damage to the engine. You should only try it if you are extremely experienced or consult a professional. Take out the timing cover, air intake resonator, brake vacuum pump, drive belt, thermostat housing, radiator hoses, heater hose, alternator crankshaft pulley upper intake manifold and valve covers. Take care not to spoil the magnetic timing wheels on camshafts. Remove both up and down oil pans. If necessary take off the timing cover and coolant outlet housing. Temporarily set up the crankshaft pulley bolt then bring together the timing marks on both crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. Check that the phaser marks are in line with plated links. Indicate direction of rotation for all chains. Press tensioner plungers then detach timing gear splash shield. Unbolt oil pump tensioner and sprocket. Put camshaft phaser lock tool between the phasers and loosen oil control valves. Remove phasers as well as timing chains. Inspect parts for wear or damage. Replace if need be. Tidy up units then fit new chains. Rotate crankshaft verifying alignment of marks. Install before doing this coolant housing together with water pump gaskets. Apply RTV sealant so as to have a proper installation of your Timing Cover. Tighten bolts on cover before finishing other installation steps. Fill engine with coolant or oil; start vehicle for leak testing.
