- 3.0 Eco Diesel. This is an overview of the timing chain set up in a 3.0 Eco Diesel engine. I also give some tips and tricks for this whole job, I replaced head gaskets in this eco diesel knowing this before taking it apart would make it a lot easier to disassemble. Also the job requires a special tool kit. There is also a big Allen socket needed for the driver side intake cam. Watching this video will help you when setting up the timing chains on this 3.0 Eco

Thank you so much for the amazing explanation God bless
Your welcome
Very informative. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh how I wish there was a manufacturer who consulted mechanics while designing their automobiles. In fact, every car maker should have mechs on their design team.
Man we say this at least once a week lol. Thank you for watching the video.
I think they stopped doing that in 1973
Perfect explanation thank you
Thank you very much I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Manufacturers need to have their engineers physically dismantle and assemble their nightmares before design approval.
omg so true, or they should have to do, lol. thanx for watching.
Dexter Hill - I am working on 2014 ram 3.0L eco diesel i have set this motor up with all the tool to set this engine up for timing replacement. crank the engine over several times by hand to bring timing marks back , and they do line up.Run a compression test to verify compression.360 psi across the board to assure myself timing is spot on. assemble engine to start only to have compression to fall off less than 200 psi and engine will not start. What the hell is going on.
Hmm that's interesting. Message me on my Instagram and I'll try to help u out.
Nice Timing video, my ecodiesel passenger exhaust sproket came loose and all the rockers broke. Took motor completly apart to remove all rocker parts and needle bearings from pan and else were with a magnet. I tried to order a long block from Mopar and paid for it. Next day they said it was no longer aviable. Ok fine then I tried to order 12 rockers and 2 Valves. No stock aviable. Ok fine so I found a used head on Ebay and Mopar did have the head gasket and new bolts. So far so good, every thing looks great. Since the valves move vertical in line with pistons only two were slightly bent. The rockers are very weak and they snaped, no damage to piston, rods, or bearings. Anyway my question is, how to pervent the sproket from coming loose. I got 22 foot pounds and addinonal 73 degrees torque on the bolt. Is that correct. Maybe locktite. I called Ram and they gave me a run around and hung up. So no help there. Thank you
That is such a bummer I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately there is nothing to keep bolt from coming loose other then torque and then hope and pray. I am at home and cannot access service information. Please message me on Instagram and I will look up the specs for you. Also I need to vehicle information. The only other thing you need to make sure of is that your torque wrench is calibrated properly. I had an inch pound torque wrench from napa for years and one day I was torquing a plastic intake manifold on a Ford and I just did not feel like it was right, had it checked on the Snap on truck and was way off. so I invested in a Snap on inch pound. My 3/8 drive is electronic from Matco and my big boy is electronic from Snap on. Please message me over there and I will help you out. Also unless service info states to do not use loctite. thank you for watching the video.
Start to finish, what kind of time am I looking at tearing down and back together? One of the exhaust camshafts broke behind the gear. I think as soon as that happened, all the valves went up and did not hit the pistons, so hoping to just replace the camshaft and roll on. Can rebuild domestic stuff all day long very efficiently, but have never tore into one of these. Dealer told my Dad to replace the motor... So I am trying to save hime from doing that.
Oh wow that is a tough call on the van shaft. That's a lot of work to hope that there was no damage. Here is a video on removing the intake, and a very common oil leak. czcams.com/video/dudLfrdUbHg/video.html
As far as time I cannot recall, message me the vehicle info on my Instagram and I can look it up for you. It's a lot of parts to go in there as well. You have to replace all the fuel lines etc. Thanks for watching
Quick question why not snug up bolts to cam then pull tensioner pin, then tighten bolts to spec?
They have to be loose enough for cam sprocket to spin so the chain tensioner can set proper time. Thank you for watching. Hit me up on Instagram if you need anymore help.
Great video! I have a 2018 Ram Ecodiesel with a minor engine knock. Would this be a timing related issue?
Engine knock in a diesel I would think is more then likely engine noise. You would have to pin point the nose but my guess would be not timing. If you have any questions you can message me on Instagram. Thanks for watching.
Hello great vid but the crank bolt is it left hand thread or normal struggling with mine
Thank you very much, it has been awhile since I did that job but just looked it up, says it is left hand thread. thank you for watching.
Great video but holy hell
Yeah that is a fair descriptor
Do you think you could remove the oil pump by removing the timing chain cover?
Send me your vehicle info on my Instagram I'll look it up. Thanks for watching
So on the gear that sits on the crank shaft there’s no marks on it either and also, where do you get those tools from?
So on this engine there are no timing marks, you rely totally on the locking tools in the kit, you lock the crank in which puts it in time, lock the cams in and then just torque and reassemble properly. Here is a link to the tool kit for this job. amzn.to/3IBPlrZ
Thanks for watching.
Thanks
@TERRELL SCAIFE your very welcome. If you have any further questions message me on Instagram and I'll help you out.
Do i really have to time the pump to the cam? I didn't replace the injection pump, just remove and install . The procedure for the pump on mitchelle is somewhat confusing.
I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you on this, do you still need help? If so hot me up on Instagram. Thank you for watching.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone I finally figured out that the pump was variable. I appreciate the response though! Im used to replacing cummings and powerstroke pumps, so this one seemed a bit confusing.
@@jasonchamberlain8189 glad you figured it out. I generally get back to ask comments but missed this one somehow. Thank you for watching.
Not sure how old this video is. But when you lock your crank there is a possibility that you are out of time. Each cam has dimples on the gear face. One has 2 dimples and the other has 1 dimple, these have to line up. Looking the crank at 30 deg ATDC you need to make sure you’re on the compression stroke not the exhaust stroke. This bite me in the ass and I had to redo timing.
I appreciate the advice on this, from what I have found is that if both of the cams lock in place properly with the tools then the crank will be in the proper position. I will keep an eye out. Thanks for watching
Where did you buy the kit to buy the cam? And how much was it?
My shop actually bought it, here is the link. I believe you can probably find a cheaper version but this one is $300. thank you for watching the video

Question here will this tool kit fit the 3.0 l Ram 1500 eco diesel as well?
Need buy if special tools help
You have to have the special tools to time this engine
I am interested in buying the tool because I have one like it here in my workshop you will have the link where you bought it, thank you
@@NutsandBoltswithTone where can we buy them
