    Question about Harmonic Balancer Install 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L

    Hey guys, I am getting my engine put back together after replacing the timing chain. I am currently trying to get the harmonic balancer installed. I borrowed a long reach kit from autozone and it helped a bit but I am curious if I need to try and press it more, or if I have it on correctly. I...

    2012 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Camshaft/Crankshaft Sensor Repair Advice

    Thanks guys, I already replaced the VCY before hand and the code still came back, that is why I decided to dig in and replace the timing chain. I used to haul a bass boat around with the truck and at 160,000 it was time to replace the chain for sure. Now I am having a hard time finding a...

    2012 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Camshaft/Crankshaft Sensor Repair Advice

    Update: So, after some intense research and homework, I decided that I would start take a look at the timing chain and tensioner to see if this is what the issue could be. Note that my truck now has 160,000 miles on it at this time. After removing many items and getting the oil pan loose, I...

    2012 Ram 5.7L Replaced OCM but code still shows up after unhooking battery

    UPDATE*** I decided to give a few more sensors a try and went with the cam shaft sensor first. I bought the aftermarket at Autozone for $13.99 and went home to replace it. It was very easy to change and did not take 5 minutes. I used my code scanner and cleared the codes as well. I have...

    2012 Ram 5.7L Replaced OCM but code still shows up after unhooking battery

    So, I took it to the dealership and they suggested changing the Oil and filter to OEM spec...which had me thinking...I don't think that is the problem, but maybe they know more than me.

    2012 Ram 5.7L Replaced OCM but code still shows up after unhooking battery

    Hey guys, I started getting a check engine light and had Autozone scan for me and it brought up certain codes that suggested the OCM (Oil control module) needed to be replaced. The truck has roughly 134,000 miles. So I removed the intake manifold and replaced the OCM with a newer one. You...

    Bleeding Brakes Question

    I do have the calipers on in the correct position. Is it pretty simple to use the pump method back to the reservoir? Where is the best place to get a pump?
