I see why the video is for the passenger side. That's the easy one. A video for the driver's side would take three hours and his arms probably wouldn't fit in the many tiny little spaces.
GREAT video. Very helpful. Now pray for me as I’m going at on the driver side tomorrow hoping to find an easy fix for a stuck valve. Regardless of the outcome, very useful video. Learned a lot.
I just did my drivers side valve cover gasket on my 16 ram 1500. Took me 4 hrs! What a nightmare lol. Yes you can remove it without taking anything off other than the coils and injector plugs but putting it back on is the problem. The gasket gets pushed out while trying to wedge the cover back on so what helps is removing the brake booster bolts on the left side and loosening the ones on the right side and that will give you enough room to move it about a 1/2” to the side. I also moved the dip stick tube over it’s just held on by 1 nut. Also I’d use whatever product is recommended to “glue” the gasket in place so it doesn’t come out when trying to get the cover back on.
For the drivers side just get the booster and battery out of the way. The Drivers side becomes ALMOST as easy as the passenger. I’ve done the valve cover gaskets on 3 of these trucks and it makes it sooo much easier!
Ah yes. Do the easy side and skip the harder side. Solid.
This is no good. This is the easy side. How do you get around the steering master cylinder being in the way on the driver’s side?
It's no good because it's not the side you want to see?....
That was the easy side. Unfortunately I was trying to see if there were some tips for the driver's side valve cover.
The dealership wants a $1,000 to do both sides 😩 well at least you'll save 500 dollars by doing the easy side
I would have used air to blow the loose dust and dirt off then wiped it down before taking the cover off
I completed the drivers side, pretty quickly by taking the air intake and alternator out!
Broken exhaust manifold studs, water leaks inside the cab, & now leaking valve cover gaskets ... all before 100k miles is on the clock. Yeah, wonder if I'll buy another Ram 🤨....
Great video. Thanks for sharing. What brand of gaskets are you using? Thank you.
Good luck going to that driver side. I’m about to attempt it and I’m sure ima have problems
Do anybody have the video doing the driver side
Does it matter which gasket goes on which side?
The driver side isn't that bad. It's just a smaller area to work in.
Passenger side took me over 2 hours to do.
Thanks for the video!!!
Do I need to drain the oil? Or the coolant before open the valve cover?
How much a job like this cost?
Do you have a video of doing head gasket on these years?
+@dylantyler2714 We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Como puedo ver un video de una ram 2014 3.6
It is not the same as the driver side.. you did the easy side.. o well
Come on TRQ the passenger side is so easy a caveman can do it.
Just another CZcams video that doesn't give me the info I need
HaHAHaHa this video is a joke...any one can do the easy side !!!
