Would I be able to do this without doing an oil change??

[@FerKurl]

Yes. Be very careful, drain coolant first, don’t let anything get in the oil, but oil change after highly highly recommended

😮 thankyou very much for posting and link of tools.

Remove powersteering check freeze plug behind.
After reinstall. Heard a bang something not aligned aint powersteering.
Could be time chain.

Can't go wrong with the sprocket hold my beer and watch LoL I can screw up the unscrewable

[@kennethprovost1413]

Doing a complete timing chain/oil pan gasket now. It's a 95 has no tensioner but a guide. In-between the 98 style.

So I got a ‘96 dakoter and she’s got the 3.9l v6 but was wondering what the part numbers and stuff were so I could get the right stuff. I gotta map out the prices and everything first.

Thank you for this! I managed to get everything pulled apart and my parts all cleaned up, but its been 2 weeks and this refresher is exactly what I need before I replace it all!
My oil pan gasket got ripped off when I pulled the timing belt cover (heard its common) should I just RTV the hell out of it when i reinstall everything or pull the whole oil pan and replace the gasket? (2003 Dodge Dakota)

[@Trials-and-Tribulations]

How did you bypass ac compressor hoses when you removed it completely.
I have a 2002 dakota with same 3.9v6

[@JtTaylor-mx3tm]

Do you have the clutch fan remover in your Amazon list?

[@kennethprovost1413]

It's always been a bastard since 96.😂

[@tripleooo7881]

Man, you ever heard of wd40.
